I took this snap with my phone just now, to document my prom dress progress and thought it would be ideal for Abi’s simple monthly exercise. Choose a picture and tell its story in twenty words or less.
The decision has been made. Sometimes you need to ignore the pattern envelope photo and look at the line drawing.
PS If you are wondering, my girl’s choice is Simplicity 1606, view B, which can be seen in the previous post.
Look forward to seeing the dress
ReplyDeleteGood choice.. and you will do an amazing job x
ReplyDeleteExciting! What a clever mum!
ReplyDeleteI can only admire you... And encourage you :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh this brings back memories of my mum teaching me to sew

That pattern brings back memories of creating bridesmaid dresses. So excited to see how the prom dress comes out! And so happy to realize I don't miss that kind of sewing at all...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this as it progresses - I am sure it is going to be lovely
ReplyDeleteI love the look of patterns and she's picked a good one :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it! I often ignore the envelope. I had done two simplicity patterns now and have deduced that they are not designed for my shape! The bust is always fine but they taper to the waist quite quickly so I always have to ease some room around the side seams!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, I do love a new pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat looks incredibly complex ... I think I'd be saying it the other way round! You have my admiration :).
ReplyDeleteAll those lines are enough to scare me off - good luck with this special dress.
