The Dress

For my birthday this year I received a request from Joanna. Would I please make her a dress for a dance she is attending on February 5? Of course, I would love to make her a dress. The fact that she is in Idaho, I am in Massachusetts and have only three weeks to make the dress and send it to her? Just an added challenge and another step on my journey.

The target dress can be found at the following address:

As I was not able to find a pattern exactly like it, I am making changes to the pattern most like it I could find. If I had a couple of months I would be able to come up with something even better but I'm pretty sure the end results will be fairly good.

This is the dress fabric. It actually is more
grey than this picture shows.



This is the jacket fabric.

The new improved skirt pattern.

The zebra patterns.

Bodice pattern glued.

Bodice pattern cut out.

The first cut.

The second cut.

On the bias.

And again.


The last cut of the day.


And that is what was accomplished yesterday. I still need to get organza for the skirt but I figure I can do that Monday because I have enough to do today to take up all afternoon. It will be interesting to see how far I get. If I finish all I can without the organza, I have the jacket and flowers to make.

Stay tuned.....
