This dress effectively started the sewing party. It caused the MC (that's me :D) to change the playlist from projects made with yarn to projects made with fabric. Pattern: Burda 06/2009, Dress 107 Fabric: Sueded Twill in Navy $1.95 a yard!! This dress cost about $6, including the cost of thread. That is madness. My seam ripper was totally my BFF on this project, mostly for avoidable mistakes made when I was zipping along too quickly. I am happy with everything, except the finishing on the inside collar. I still need to tuck the raw edge under, but I called it done then. This was my very first Burda pattern. This issue is PACKED with sewing gems. I found it daunting to trace the pattern, transfer the marking, cut it out blah blah blahhhhh. But I love this dress! I ordered so much of this fabric (7yds and like 60 inches wide) that I still have more left.
