I just scraped in for day 7 of kcwc with this quick and easy 30 minute project. The sewing is getting easier as the week progresses, have you noticed? I'm getting lazier and more time poor ;) Details below!
The pattern: Basic pillowcase dress (no pattern). I just guessed the width and length. Probably a touch too large for her at the moment, but this child seems to grow as fast as I can sew for her, so not too worried about that. Pillowcase dress tutorials are everywhere online if you're not sure how to do it.
The fabric: Thrifted pillowcase - $1. Not real happy with the fabric now that I've made it. It's got some polyester in it so not as natural and comfortable as I would have liked. I broke my rule about always using natural fabrics, and definitely regretted it. It also seems a little see-through so it might just be a dress for playing in at home. I might need to add some lining at some point (if I can be bothered!). Cute print though, yes?
The sewing: Nothing to it. 30 mins from start to photograph. Yay!
Well I think that's it for kcwc for me this time round. I've run out of puff and days, but perhaps I'll be better organised next time and might plan ahead a little more. Did you sew along too? I hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did.

The dress looks very smart on your little model, just what every girl needs for a hot summer day!
ReplyDeletewow, three items in one week! well done! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! Even though you're not happy with the fabric I think the pattern is great, and it would make a lovely Christmas dress. I ran out of steam with KCWC too but I think that's inevitable.
