Winter Courdrey

 Winter Courdrey Dress

Hi Everyone, 

We had a long weekend here which really did feel long especially since it rained most of the time.

Lately I've had a very hard time finding my "groove" or mojo perhaps in regards of  getting back into sewing

This was not planned and somehow as the days went on, I simply fell out of practice 

Sad, but also true. 

However, it remains one of my first loves in life. 

Even though I haven't been able to fill my head or her closet with new items of colours & prints, 

I did manage this. 

The fabric is a soft courdrey but I think the pattern makes it quite cosy for a winter outfit. 

I traced one of her summer tank tops and widened it out on both sides to give it more of a flare, 

then I made an opening about 10cm long down the middle back and re-attached another piece 

to make the closure. 

It was my first time doing that and it wasn't too hard but could get a bit messy.

The only downside its it's a tad small....so she won't be getting much wear-ability out of it.

Hopefully this will jumpstart my creativity again, 

oh but first......

I will need to clean up my sewing space. 

It has been taken over by a whole bunch of over due paperwork!

Have a upcoming great weekend!
