Ready for Spring

Description

It's one of my spring designs I made into a pattern. Well, since I'm from a tropical country - it's a summer dress for me :) The fabric had the print of the dress in front per yard, so I had a difficult time playing puzzle with the print and the lines near the hem. This was done with the use of my blocks. The sleeves go all the way to the waist.

Materials

Stretch Cotton with panel print

sewing summer clothes.

I love the sleeves most, very smart idea to have no seams and still get the soft effect.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you liked it. I really love this fabric - so soft - perfect for a hot humid weather like ours :) Keelysews: I would love to post the pattern, but I don't have a scanner right now which is why I can't upload :( JJ: I try to take out darts on clothes -- which I really hate to sew - haha

Where did you buy the fabric? I've never seen anything like it.
Lilo Ï Posted 26 March 2008 at 3:19 PM

oh, this is lovely! very beautiful, you used the print clever.
Myk Ï Posted 27 March 2008 at 3:58 AM

thelazymilliner: I bought the fabric from a local shop here in Manila :)

finally sewing again

Myk this is beautiful. You keep making beautiful things.

I've often wondered though what you meant by blocks and how it is different from a sloper like what JJ posted on patterns. Is a block or a sloper a pattern without seam allowances? Just wondering.
