BWOF 2/2011 Dress 101

Sierra and I have been working on this on and off for about three weeks. We started off by working on two dresses one for both of us, but in the end only one of us was meant to have one.  
 The other dress, well it is hanging up in my closet waiting to be finished sometime in the future.
 We decided the other dress was going to be too small for Sierra so I gave her mine. Her original was all lined, mine as you can see just had the bottom lined.
This is a easy pattern but we added some extra layers and lining to it so it became hard for Sierra to do all by herself. That and the outer layer is super slick.
 The upper still needs some taking in but the rest is just fine.
 Next time I think we will go with something that is single layered so she can do all/more of the work.
 I added a cap sleeve effect to the shoulders of the dress, both of us had problems with the shoulders not staying in place.
 What I love about this dress pattern is it falls right above your natural waist and there for hides tummies.

Slippers for Sierra

It was supposed to be a project that she would be able to do ALL of the sewing but in the end she asked me for help. She wanted the slippers to have binding strips all the way around them and it was a major pain to do so I had to help her with it. She did pick all of the fabric that was used and how she wanted it to look!

Slippers are made from Burda Style's FREE Alice Slipper Pattern

New Tunic For Sierra

Sierra picked fabric, trim and a button for her new tunic. Only thing I helped with was the trim and buttons. She arrived here and announced that we needed to  make her a NEW Thanksgiving outfit. She did a great job!
We used a pattern from the new Burda World Of Fashion 12/2009 Magazine - Dress 148
