In an effort to actually become more active with my fashion design work, I thought I might create a blog that concentrates on the projects and shows I am doing.
Today's project: Sew a dress in a day!
I am using the Butterick Retro pattern # 4790. It's labeled as a "Fast & easy" pattern. However, there are a couple things to note: First. Rather than buying bias tape, I have decided to make my own! Also, if I finish it and it comes out nicely, I plan to wear it to the girl's night out tomorrow (if it isn't too cold out). But since this is a pretty lightweight fabric and it's been chilly out, I foresee my dress form getting more wear out of it for at least the next few weeks.
Also, I am highly tempted to get a booth for a local event, which is why dress in a day came about. For the next 12-ish days I am attempting to see how many goods I can produce to see if it will be viable for me to have a booth at all! I am a fulltime fashion design student with lots of school projects, and my finals are the week before the event, so finding time to sew is going to be a challenge! But definitely one I am looking forward to. So, this blog will surely be filled with all kinds of pictures for the next couple weeks at least!
