Description
A friend left the office a few month ago, and my sewing “teacher” and I decided to use the opportunity to make a project together…
the pattern was the 7979 Jonny on, but unfortunately another friend who does not sew chose the fabrics, which were so thin that ripped as we tried to sew them… for months we pretended that the dress was not there, but finally decided to face it back in our own terms. so we changed materials and modified some of the details on the pattern… I will post my mark ups soon..
Material Notes
The top is white linen The skirt is a wrinkled paper looking like cotton I bought in an African fabrics shop. For the neck and cuffs we chose a contrasting material from my grandma´s "tresure box"... the buttons are black cristal... a bit dear but look gorgeous :-)

Hello! I love this dress design, and wanted to try making it! I was wondering if you had any instructions on this dress? The link is only what is on this page. Also, when printing out the pattern, does it piece together by number if you’re printing it at home? Thank you so much for your time and advice! Thanks! -Annette

I’m taking this pattern and making it into just the skirt for an anime inspired school type of uniform. I loved the design and the fact that I’m making most of the main pieces for the uniform out of duct tape will be interesting!
