More garment sewing!

Back in February, I saw a “Seed” dress in a local op shop.

I bought the cardigan though, that is on the right there!

 

It was too small but I loved its easy style.

 

I had two patterns that I thought I could make work,

 

So once I found some fabric, on sale at Spotlight,

 

I decided it was time to give it a go. 

 

The mauve double gauze is for a boxy blouse, next Summer

I used the skirt and front band from the Stylearc 

pattern 

 

and lengthened the bodice of the Simplicity one.

 

The inverted pleat can be seen here.

The Simplicity pattern has the back gathered into the 

bodice. 

I made an inverted pleat like the Seed dress instead.

 

I added a contrast collar, cuffs and the centre band 

closure with a light weight denim.

 

And the pockets cut on the bias with denim flaps.

I was pretty pleased with my check matching skills, 

although I acknowledge it’s not perfect.

 

It still need buttons here.

The trick is to not stand still long enough for anyone to 

notice!😄

I hope to get a better 'modelled' photo soon.

Happy days,
