In the month of July, one of my favorite sewing blogs,
Presserfoot, took on the project of the Cynthia Rowley
knit tank dress. In my great over-ambitiousness, I had also taken on this project earlier in the spring after I found some pretty royal blue knit fabric on clearance at the fabric store and the pattern on sale for $1. I had experienced moderate to great difficulty in finishing it up (over
girls' weekend -- thanks for all of your help, Judy!), resulting in there only being one pocket on the poor dress instead of two :) pocketFAIL.
All in all, I learned a lot from the trial and mishap, and the dress just needs a bit of finishing before being fit for wear. I'm looking forward to following along with the last bit of the
Presserfoot dress to try and figure out where I went wrong with the pocket/zipper combo.
Have any of you followed along with a sewing blog or sew-a-long? Any good ones to share?
So impressive! I should have paid attention when my grandmother tried to teach me how to sew as a child. Who knew I could be making Cynthia Rowley dresses at home!
ReplyDeletei am glad to see that someone actually was sewing along with me, but feel bad that i have still not finished it. i still have the hem to do and that is it. ok, i promise finish the tutorial. i wasnt sure if anyone cared. but i am happy to know someone did:)
