\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I’m loving the ease of Sonia Philips patterns; thus her 100 Acts of Sewing<\/a>, Dress No. 1 pattern<\/a> was a must try. I made a muslin with the same cherished bed sheet I used for my self drafted dress<\/a>\u00a0muslin and some biased binding.<\/p>\n

I had my first go at making biased binding. There are lots of\u00a0 wonderful youtube videos and tutorials on the web. I learned all about these\u00a0nifty little gadgets<\/a>. They’re inexpensive, easy to use, and simplify the binding making process.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

It’s wonderful to have the option to create binding in any color you desire and also to use up old scraps in your stash. I had a small piece of fabric left over from my block printed table runner<\/a>\u00a0that was perfect for biased binding. This fabric looked like a Renoir painting, Summer Landscape, Woman with a parasol. So beautiful! You can see the image in the middle of the table runner.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Though the process of making binding is relatively simple, it definitely added a chunk of time in creating this dress; in fact, the binding took longer to make than the actual dress itself! I’m hoping there’s a learning curve and next time will go quicker.<\/p>\n

Dress No. 1 pattern was a breeze to cut out and sew. Since this was an A-line dress and I had sized down on my other 100 Acts of Sewing patterns, I decided to make the size small. The dress mostly fits nicely, but it is a tad snug across the back and chest for me. I modified the neckline by splitting the center down about 3-4 inches to see if that would create enough room for comfort.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I added a small rectangle at the bottom of the cut to add extra stability and stregth. I like the extra detailing of the neck.\u00a0 Though visually it looks good on, I can still feel some pull. I have a broad back, and often need a medium top. Not to fret! This draft will make a fun little gift for a friend of mine. I had just enough material from the flat bed sheet to try the top portion in size medium.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

It fits just right. I’m taking a bobbin lace making class, and am hoping to make a small bit of lace to add to the bottom of this top, probably in navy. Fingers crossed it turns out as I imagine. I like this as a top so much, I’m going to make it in a few different colors. It’s the perfect easy breezy summer top. Eventually, I’ll remake the dress in medium bust and small waist and bottom.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dress or top, I highly recommend giving 100 Acts of Sewing, Dress No.1<\/a> a try.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
