It’s still 2020 here in California so I thought I would make one last post for the year. I’ve been sewing but not taking time to blog or take pictures.
I purchased this pattern with plans to make View A in a printed stretch velvet. Last fall my friend Jennifer was cleaning out her stash of fabrics and gave me a large piece of a very good quality ponte knit. I wanted a pattern that would make the most of the fabric and Vogue 9264 came to mind.
I love the sleeves on this dress. The princess seams are flattering and helpful if you need to make any adjustments to the size. The only change I made to the pattern was to lengthen View A by 10 inches. There are no fasteners on this dress. It slips on comfortably.
Even if I didn’t have any event to wear many of the clothes I made in 2020, I enjoyed thinking of where my fashion photographer and I would go with me wearing my latest me-made piece of clothing.
As we say goodbye to 2020 and look forward to 2021, it is with hope that I wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2021. I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog. Stay safe!
