I have (an exciting) new dress project to share today. This dress pattern from Merchant&Mills has been on my Making list for some time. I love all things ‘Merchant&Mills’ and could make all their patterns but this one, in particular, has always stood out for me. The pattern is another Christmas gift. Initially, I wasn’t quite sure about which fabric I wanted ? I had thought about a navy linen or a cord and then a standard denim. However, after a visit to our local fabric shop, I saw this lovely stretch fabric which looks just like denim. It’s quite a heavy weight and is a lovely deep denim colour. I’ve decided to use a white crisp cotton for the collar and cuffs.
The dress pattern has a traditional rugby shirt feel but has a fitted bodice and side pockets. I think, it’s a relatively easy Make and am looking forward to wearing the finished article, soon. The only slight issue will be the front placket detail, always a bit tricky to get a neat finish especially using a contrast fabric.This project will need to join the Making queue, it’s currently number 3 in the list. I need to wash my fabric today and when it’s dry, I’ve a feeling it may jump the queue ! However, it’s also back to work day today so plans for sewing all day are not an option.
Thanks for calling in today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another Making story.
