Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I know I’m not the only one when I say I love the show Mad Men.
Which is to say I love I love the clothes.
Which is to say I love Joanie.
Sigh.
I’ve decided to embrace my obsession and have created a challenge to the sewing community to get their ‘Mad Men’ on and do a copy-cat of their own! Are You in?
See my blog at JuliaBobbin for details on the Mad Men dress challenge and to join in the fun.
This dress is one of my latest made with blue cotton drill, white ribbon and fully lined. It has already turned into one of my favourites.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a dress as much as I love this. It is perfect.

I’m in for your challenge! Just recently started watching mad men and all of the clothes make me drool! Excellent job on the copycats you have done. I’ll let you know once I’ve made my own copycat :)

Yay! Looking forward to seeing it!
P.s. – don’t fight the drooling. Just sit with a box of tissues next to you when watching TV and dab away. It’s the only thing that I find works xx
