Wayland success

I made my Wayland in a cotton/linen blend fabric from Blackbird Fabrics in a size 14C/D. The fit is perfect with just a 1/2” added to the bodice length, my usual adjustment. I was unsure about the shirting but after a practice run, I was confident it would work on my nice fabric, it did! I couldn’t be more pleased with the final result!

Quick to make and so classy!

I just finished making a Wayland sun dress and I am so happy with the results! The most time-consuming thing was figuring out how to do the shirring on my particular sewing machine, and then sewing the rows of elastic thread at the slowest speed so as to not skip stitches. I made the shorter version and had to adjust the bodice pattern 1. for my apple-shaped body and 2. where the straps fell on the front of the dress to cover the straps of my preferred undergarments. Another winner from Cashmerette!

très belle robe

très belle robe, j'ai cousu la robe sans avoir eu a faire de retouche, le livret de couture est toujours bien expliqué.

This was so much fun!

Finished my Wayland, unfortunately just in time for the weather to change, but I will have a cute sundress for next year! I made a 12 FG and learned how to do shirring, which was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. I used gingham so I made it easy on myself to sew straight repeated lines with the elastic thread and it turned out really cute. I’m thinking about making the skirt as its own stand-alone skirt because it’s very flattering for somebody with a tummy.

Fun sun dress!

I just finished making my first Wayland sun dress using a quilting cotton print. It's fun and so pretty! The shirring looks great and feels nice too because of the lining (I used t-shirt jersey.) I adjusted the pattern to fit my apple shaped body, and had to move where the straps sit so my bra straps won't show, but it fits me wonderfully and is very comfortable to wear.
