Finished. Phew! Sewing binge over the long weekend done. Machines away. This is what I did - one dress and two tops.
The dress is a pattern I bought from Ballarat Patchwork and is called the Claire Cami Dress. You can make it any length from a short top to a long maxi dress. I made mine knee length. Perfect for one of those hot summer days that we're sure to get very soon. I bought the fabric from that well known large fabric shop from their specials table. Didn't want to spend too much money on the first dress in case I didn't like it. And I actually ended up sewing the armhole facings on backwards too. But ultimately I am very pleased with the result. I can see myself making this pattern several more times. My daughter has already requested one for Christmas.
The tops are New Look 6870. The second top was made with the leftover fabric from the dress. I bought too much and didn't want to waste it. These are tops number 4 and 5 from this pattern. Love it when you find a pattern you can make over and over making each one just slightly different, in this case by changing the sleeves.
I have satisfied my dressmaking craving now. And the quilt top is all but done too. I love long weekends. :-)
