Butterick 4790....





I am so excited about this project. Why? Well it's the first out of many that I will be trying to do on my own. What really got me going is the fact I read the instructions and it seems like it's going to be a simple dress. This one is in fact one of the easiest dress I have ever attempted to do. Now don't get me wrong I know somewhere in the process something is going to throw me off but I think by now I am ready. I originally wanted to do this in a gray and black pattern fabric, but somehow I got distracted and saw this amazing cobalt blue poplin fabric that was so beautiful and brilliant I knew I had to have it. So I purchased seven yards of it along with another fabric which I won't mention because I have no clue what I will be doing with a pink and yellow silk embroidered material.
So far I have adjusted the sizing of the pattern and cut it out. Hopefully everything will go smoothly if not ..... well you will be the first to know.
I hope everyone enjoy their Easter holiday.
Have a good one,
A.S.

Will you edge in the same fabric? I love this pattern.

I might use something different....I have my eye on a pattern fabric which would work perfectly with this material.

Your fabric is beautiful and I'm sure your final dress will be too. Take it one step at a time. You'll be and do well.
