The pattern is the Crepe pattern from Collette Patterns. I’m going to make the sweetheart neckline version. Conveniently, there was a sew-along on Gertie’s Blog for Better Sewing back in 2010-2011 so I will have guidance. I’ve even set myself out on a sewing schedule. When I was making the Auction Dress I hated how the sewing stuff sat out on the dining room table making everything messy all the time. So for this project I will work only on the weekends and put everything away. The sewing schedule will also hopefully keep me from the “gotta finish now” frantic nature of the last project.
I picked out the material two weeks ago because that was the day my excellent sewing companion could go. This project will teach me underlining, so I had to find two kinds of material that worked well together. With the good judgement of my sewing companion here’s what I (well, it was mostly she, not I) came up with:
It looks good, eh?
