This is my
second time making the Simplicity 1419 pattern. My first version was kitty
themed, so why not go with a fun bike pattern for version 2. This another fabric from the furnishing fabric section at Spotlight. I bought it with a Washi in mind but there wasn’t
enough material and because of the pattern you couldn’t turn any pattern pieces
upside down. I decided to go sans collar
for this version and sleeveless.
It’s a lovely simple pattern to make up and I like the pleating in the front. It’s a less gathered full skirt than most patterns like this. Because of the stiffness of the material I’m not sure I will need to do a button for the top. I guess after a few washes it might flop forward and when that happens I will finish off the top section as per the pattern.
Very happy
with my fun summer frock. Because I
really needed some more dresses.
Christmas break did yield quite a few new makes. Never sure if I’ll be
in the mood to be sitting at the sewing machine or using a hot iron in the
summer heat but I did get quite a few things done. That was, however, in between binge watching episodes
of The Killing and eating way too much festive fair.
Funny how the back version looks like a bike pile up.
