Hazel Dress

Happy Canada Day!

Actually I am in the middle of other sewing (Cambrie dress, baby quilt and laptop bag), but I suddenly decided that I needed a red and white dress for a Canada Day BBQ.

So on Thursday lunchtime I went off to my local Fabricland and found some red and white striped fabric. They say copying is the sincerest form of flattery and I wanted a dress like the picture on the pattern!

When I got home, I downloaded the  digital Hazel pattern from the Colette patterns website while I washed and dried the fabric. I have been following the Colette Pattern Sew Along on Sarah's Rhinestones and Telephones blog, and although I fell way behind in the previous Sew Along, I am on schedule with this one!!!

Check This Out!

I love Gingham!!!

Last night I cut  out my  Sewaholic Cambie dress at long last. I had a navy and white check cotton with a slight stretch in my stash that I think would look good as View A.

As I was cutting out, I was reminded of some of my other gingham creations.

We have here the Colette Violet Blouse, with a Black and white check cotton fabric.

Leftovers from that feature in this Amy Butler Hobo bag that I made last summer.

Pastille Dress

At long last ....here is my Pastille dress. By now everyone around who can sew in a straight line has made theirs and I am late again as usual!!

MMM Days 27 - 31

The final days!

On Sunday, day 27, I wore my self stitched gypsy skirt and a little t-shirt. We were off to a local nursery to buy plants for the garden and it was a very hot day and the skirt is cool to wear. Later we had an early dinner with friends and the out fit was still suitable.

On Monday, day 28, I wore what is one of the favorite pieces that I have sewn. A shirtdress, Burda 7827 and it is made in a cotton fabric with a little stretch.
