Project Review 2012: March

I was a bit late finishing the second project for Sew Colette: the Pastille Dress. Overall, I really like it and I am pleased with the two-tone look and fit. If I were to make Pastille again, I would definitely try a full skirt version.

Victory Patterns' Chloe

The response to the Victory Patterns feature and giveaway was incredible! I am delighted to say that lovely Kristiann gifted me with a pattern of my choice and, after much deliberating, I chose Chloe. I want to make both a woven and knit version.

I am quite pleased with my first item for That's Sew Cinematic: Lady Edith's Blouse. The fabric is a lovely soft poly-blend, which was slightly slippery to work with at times. Despite tendencies to fray like mad, I love the blouse and think it's a nice nod to Lady Edith's style.

It was an absolute treat to review the pretty Bali Ha'i dress from Shabby Apple and the beautiful Pink Safari Separates from Tess Designs. All items are wonderful to wear; comfortable and flattering and have already had outings on their own! If you're looking for quality items with a vintage feel, I would highly recommend both Shabby Apple and Tess Designs!

I have also finished a second outfit for That's Sew Cinematic, based on Larita's trousers and Linda's tunic. I need to wait until the weather clears up before venturing outside for photographs. I made another version of Simplicity 3673, which is one of my favourites, that involved both stash-busting and a bit of Franken Pattern-ing.

For April, I would like to make the following:

Renfrews!
