And so the "One Pattern Seven Bloggers" project was formed.
~ A big thank you to Rachel who designed this cool badge for our project! ~
Everyone said yes to the project, and we have since been emailing with questions and ideas!
So, who's on board?
Marie from A Sewing Odyssey
Reana Louise from Curves, Patterns and Pins
Kat from Petticoats & Peplums
Rachel from My Messings
Jen from Pretty Little Pictures
Amy from Sewing Through the Motions
and Me!
Here is the pattern we decided on...
Today marks 'day one' of the project, and our first blog post. Every Wednesday we will be posting about our progress until the big reveal on the 1st of June!
For the dress... I have been giving some thought to modifying the skirt to create a more '50's look by gathering the skirt significantly, and perhaps making a petticoat to add extra volume under the skirt. Our landscape here is quickly changing to autumn hues of burnt oranges and reds, so I am going to use autumn colours as my inspiration for the fabric.
Image from here.
I love the bodice of this dress so I cannot see myself changing it much. I am also thinking of making a fabric belt to match the dress. I will probably stick to a cotton fabric for this dress, as I like sewing with natural fibers.
Now, off to find some fabric...!
Feel free to come visit us and watch this project unfold!
