new dress time! made from a 40's pattern
the pattern had the option of long or little cupped selves, i did make the selves and the strange double yoke, but the effect looked tacky.I am sure that was due to the pattern on the fabric not quite matching the design. I got the fabric on a chuck out for really cheep!
i did want to make it in a floral green but the ideal fabric although beautiful was out of my price range.


(its not quite done in this picture hence the safety pins. i need to make a new petticoat as well)

the whole thing is pleated, that took me a few goes on practice fabric to get right. the pleats sort of go against the grain and become wobbly and curly if not absolutely center :S. so one of the pleats is terrible but I'm hoping that will be un noticed.....

Its near to Christmas and our church mentioned the "tear Australia" foundation. so this year i decided to give our neighbors a gift that actuly ment something.
i wanted to get some cards but i couldn't find any that was not ether overpriced or totally corny. so i made these bon-bons! i think they tuned out OK :)
