Dayana Sews, Too! New dress from Vogue Pattern V2046
Welcome to my sewing life, which runs parallel with my knitting life! Granted, knitting was at 90% and sewing at 10% for many a year, but the so-called sewing "bug" is like a trusty cold -- it always comes back. If you have the patience, scroll down to read my sewing origin story. Just like in knitting, I follow (patterns), and don't lead (design). But also like in knitting, I rarely use a pattern as given -- a good fit must always be the goal! This dress uses Vogue Pattern V2046 , which comes with a short-sleeved, shorter skirt version. (For the sewists out there, my Pattern Review entry is here .) I tend to make a lot of long-sleeved dresses because (1) I don't like pants much, (2) I live in the cold state of Maine, and (3) I have long arms and can never find ones that fit. At first look, this is a straightforward dress with a princess seam bodice and a gored skirt. However, this pattern not only has a fun subtle fringe element, but also combines pieces on the bias...
