Burda 7678

Well on Sunday I did get out and of course some how I found myself at Jo-Ann's how does that happen? Well I got my first Burda pattern 7678 . I decided to keep it simple by doing the boat neck top. I found this taupe color knit for $3.99 and my 40% off coupon who could really walk away from that.

Project Princess

You may recall from previous posting the Theme for the Prom is "Fairytale". So we set out to search for fabric at Jo-Ann. There were two things that she knew for sure. She did not want a long dress and she wanted it to have an overlay. The color did change a few times which I had to veto, but she did pick one that was perfect. She decided on the Sea-Glitter Swirl Organza for the overlay with white Casa Satin underneath. It really did say "Princess". Until the next time

"Project Princess"

What is "Project Princess"? I have decided to make my DD Prom dress. After speaking with her and looking at a few books I was able to do a sketch and I actually came up with something I must say that she really do like and did not request any changes so that is a really BIG plus when dealing with a teenager and clothing in the same sentence. I will post the sketch later. I am going to blog about the "Project Princess" from start to finish. So keep checking back. My goal is weekly postings unless life just gets in the way.

The Prom theme is "Fairytale" so I sketch a dress for a Princess.

Fabric Used: A mutl-color fabric that I have had for some time in my stash. I thought it was very retro.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I did like it another quick pattern for the summer.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I did a couple of things. I took in the neck so the shoulders are not so extended. I did a top stitch on the pockets too. I closed up the back and removed the button and I took in the sides about an inch. I wanted it fitted in the waist area and less of a box shape. This will be great in denim.

Would you sew it again? Yes.

Would you recommend it to others? Yes.
