Description

made entirely of scraps from my burdastyle book entry. i couldn’t bear to throw a bit of that gorgeous material away.

there’s a semi-related story i wasn’t sure of sharing on my blog, but in the end i clicked publish: oonaballoona

no pattern was used, i just pieced this together until i had a dress.

Material Notes

bamboo jersey

    I’ll have to try that sometime. I have way too many scraps. Just can’t throw anything away. My sewing room is always a mess!

    Very cool – I love creative people! (Also, I have to say I dig the brick wall in the background)

    Nice dress! I still have quite a bit of Burdastyle-book-fabric left over as well… it’s just waiting for the right project. By the way, the link to your blog doesn’t work.
