This is definitely how I feel about my wardrobe these days. I'm looking for comfort and style. Something that I can wear home or away. Something that makes me feel good.

| Simplicity Pattern S8856 |
I recently saw this pattern, and it got stuck in my head. I could make it in a comfortable knit, linen, cotton...even fleece! I can shorten it for a nice dress, even make it sleeveless! I can even hand or machine embroider the yoke, if I follow my muse.
I went to Joann's website, and it wasn't in stock online or in the stores. ugh I went to Simplicity's website, only to find it priced somewhere around $20! double ugh So, I went to Etsy and found it at multiple price points...most around $7, plus postage. Bingo! Bought it yesterday, so I'll be watching the mail. I can even start choosing fabric from my studio while I wait. Score!
I would make the long version for myself. I love dresses with pockets. The only problem is they tend to catch on the doorknobs and pull me backwards :D
ReplyDeleteThat front panel would be super cute with a little embroidery down the front on a solid color. I wonder who could make that happen! Love the pattern and may have to search for one too.
ReplyDeleteSewing patterns these days are outlandishly expensive. Makes me glad I don't sew clothes. Sometimes I wish I did but I can never make them look right so it's a wasted effort. I like the versatility of the pattern you've chosen though - lots of scope for fun!
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern but have never seen it before. I followed your example and looked on Etsy and have now ordered one of my own! Thank you for sharing with us!
