I am going to a wedding reception at the beginning of February of two of my university friends and I thought I should make myself a dress. After my Christmas dress success it is nice to make another more formal outfit and I used my Christmas money to slightly nicer fabric than I would be able to afford normally.
I bought this great pattern after seeing it on the Make This Look section of Sew Weekly.
I am planning on making the sleeveless dress from teal taffeta I got from Abakhan with a contrasting coloured bow.
Yummy!
I have also just joined The Sew Weekly as a contributor which I am really excited about! This year they have opened it up to people who want to contribute but not make something every week. Personally I would find this very difficult, both on the time I have to make something and the amount of money fabric and notions would cost. I have already set myself the one garment a month target and I am hoping Sew Weekly will help me to reach this as working to a deadline is such a help to me.
This is going to be a gorgeous dress! I love those colors together. And yes, Sew Weekly is going to be awesome this year with so many contributors!
