Butterick 5147
It's not that I haven't been inspired by others versions to try it...Sheila's dresses come to mind...but it just never gets made. That is until this year! Since Elizabeth is looking for "The Perfect Sheath Dress" pattern, I suggested that several of us sew along with her to give her an incentive to make up this dress and turn it into a TNT pattern...that way she will always have a great dress whenever she needs one. And as you can see, she's already completed version one and is on to version two.
My journey will begin using View D, since I already have a TNT sheath-like dress pattern and I would like to make a more a-line version. The sew-along lasts until August 13th. We are loading our pics and have set up a discussion board on flickr. Feel free to join us or just watch as we all make our own version of B5147.
Now you know I haven't started my dress yet...hey, I have until August 13th! *LOL* But I will be working on it soon...so stay tuned!
...as always, more later!
