Vogue 1102 Dress (Almost Finished)











Well, I have been very busy sewing this week and have almost finished the dress. I still need to hem it and sew in the zip but other than that it is just about finished.








Had a fabulous weekend, went to the movies to see True Grit with my husband and during the day went to a beer festival at the University staff club, where we caught up with friends.

Vogue 1102 Dress







I have been sooo busy lately but haven't had time to blog about my latest sewing mission which is the Vogue 1102 Dress (See Dress inpiration post). I got the material from global fabrics and it is a pink and grey striped silk (almost like taffeta). It has all being going well so far but I shouldn't have chosen a striped as this makes it a little more difficult. So far I have made the bodice but have still got to make the skirt and stitch it on, so further pictures to come.



With the apron I have made the pocket, had Anahita's name stitched on it and finished the bottom. All it needs now is some straps and it's done. Yay!
