A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Ooh La La Dress

Ooh La La DressThis dress has everything I adore: stripes, yokes, pockets, twirlability and comfort. And doesn’t it look totally French? It’s also the first item I’ve made for K’s Fall wardrobe (if you’ve got an eagle eye, you will notice that this particular grey and blue striped number is not included in the tower of fabrics – but no matter, it was the nicest fabric to start with).

I used pattern B from this book (ISBN 978-4-579-11289-0) – I am so going to make that bubble dress too! I’m thinking burgundy linen…

The best part? As soon as I finished making it, K begged me to let her wear it. It’s still a little wonky in parts so I’m going to try the pattern again with a different fabric to see if I can do a better job with the next one…stay tuned!

I’ve been sewing a lot and have noticed that now I’ve been sewing a lot and have noticed that nowadays I sew the way that my husband buys clothes: the same things in different colors. Once I find a pattern that I like, I’ve developed a habit of whipping out multiples. I’ve made a bunch of these simple woven tees (1st 2 images) and about half a dozen knit batwing tops (3rd image — a turquoise one is in the wash right now). I’m now working on several leggings. Soon, though, I’m going to move onto spring dresses! Excited!! #isew #handmadewardeobe
