In the past few weeks I have suddenly rediscovered my love for sewing. I had discovered a new sewing pattern blog – pattern runway – and I fell in love with this Easy Kimono Dress:
It is a very simple design – but if it worked out well I imagined replicating it in many different fabrics and colours for a fantastic work staple dress.
After work one day I headed to Spotlight for a bit of a fabric shop and discovered a beautiful khaki green flower type material which last weekend I managed to whip into this:
(excuse the weird foot thing – not sure what is going on there)
The pattern itself was really easy to follow, and I had it finished within a matter of hours. I think next time I might go for a heavier fabric, as the Cotton Voile creases very easily – not the best for work. I am now taking a look back at all my other patterns that have been sitting unused – just need to find some good fabric and hopefully I will have some more home made creations soon.
