Love your dress! And to think you used...Hi Melanie<br />Love your dress! And to think you used a 1980's pattern! It is both fitted and flowy. Very nice! Pockets again, so useful.<br />I am not out of the race.... I am on version 2 of my top. I finally decided on making a Diane Ericson garment, 'The River Tunic'. It is by no means a prescriptive pattern, as it is one size fits most, and you can make whatever loose alterations you want. Almost hit and miss, but that is the quirkiness of it and is a very 'freeing' concept. A zero waste type garment which doubles as a scarf. Except my version 2 is 100% cotton, and although it flows it is a little crisp for a scarf. As soon as I finish this I will make version 3 out of a silk I have had stored for a few years. Version 1 was cut from a very loose weave silk, which would not tolerate unpicking, it fell apart. I will find another use for the pieces.<br />Every time I look at my top I think 'beach'. I can imagine warm days on the sand, lovely evenings listening to the waves, with a glass of wine. (Ah.... it must be summer holidays soon! Except we are still below zero of a night, so not soon enough.) It is a bit different and I think it represents many concepts from this book - freedom, the beach, frugality, comfort.<br /><br /> Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18286531350427715397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454299534973486652.post-747568585315211612018-08-28T11:12:38.900-04:002018-08-28T11:12:38.900-04:00Lovely.

However, I have made something that should match up. I wanted to check my references but was so keen to get friends to read it that I've already loaned it out!<br />I#m off for the weekend now, so will blog and post to you on Tuesday if that's OK. Love your dress- very stormy!DementedFairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849506916345114927noreply@blogger.com
