I was so excited to get this pattern and purchase the fabric and the lining. And, now I realize - um, I really should have picked a project with a woven fabric --- this knit material (although, beautiful) moves way too much. I'm having a difficult time handling the material. Enough said.
I want to make view A (sleeveless dress). Initially, I wanted to make view B, but I need the dress top in a size 18 and the sleeves in a size 16 - and, I figured it would be easier to just make it without the sleeves.
Today has been a busy sewing (well, prepping) day. I read the instructions. Prepped the fabric and the lining (although, after pre-treating, I don't think I picked the right lining). OMG! I've read all of the reviews of the pattern on patternreview.com, so I feel confident that I can make the dress without the lining. Really, I'll probably make the dress and make the lining - just not attach them together (this material will either need a lining or a full slip). We'll see.
Now, that everything has been cut out - it's time to make the pattern markings on the fabric, then - I can start sewing. I'll keep you posted!
Needles Up,
Always Audrey
