Description
This awesome fabric was in the remnant stack at Walmart! I followed the Marie pattern pretty closely, except for widening the waistband, and I skipped the hem facing, which I don’t recommend, so I think I will be redoing my hem.
I had a tough time with this one- mostly because of the fabric and then I didn’t have much of the pink satin (because I used it on my Malissa ) to work with, so it turned out a bit uneven. The side seams are still a bit bumpy also, but I like it anyway :) Now I just need a place to wear it!

I like the mix of the colours and love the pattern – very clever with the darts/pleats.
