It's a finished object post! Can you believe it? Today, I present to you, "The Oatmeal Dress". I have had this dress cut out for about three months, but just recently got around to stitching it up. In hindsight, I should have sewn this up sooner as I am in love with it. Thankfully, this project went together without extreme hassle. I did sew one of the skirt pieces on backwards, which I was able to easily fix after a few quality moments with my seam ripper.
I pulled out all the stops for this dress. I finished every single seam, hand sewed the facing instead of my usual stitch in the ditch method, used a vintage metal zipper, and applied hem tape. This dress is the creme de la oatmeal of dresses!
The details:
- Pattern: Simplicity 2176
- Fabric: Lightweight linen from Goodwill
- Notions: Vintage metal zipper, thread, hem lace
- Make again?: Perhaps next summer
- Recommend to Others?: Most definitely
Happy Sewing!
Yay! A FO! Does this mean the sewing slump is over?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Oatmeal is such a versatile color. I love it because you can keep it all neutral and soft, or add practically any other color to completely change the look. Have fun with this dress.
ReplyDeleteCute! It's a great background for bold accessories like that necklace you're wearing. And it looks very nice with your skin tone.
ReplyDeleteDfr- Yes, I think that sewing slump has finally came to an end!
ReplyDeleteYAY!! I love the simplicity of it. It looks so fresh and crisp, and so summery! I hope you have a bit more time to wear it before the cold weather arrives. :)
