September was the month of the couture dress based on Vogue dress 8648. It is ready!
More pictures will follow…I am glad I have finished it.
Small advise for those who are going to make this dress – make the midriff on bias. Especially if you have a fabric with a pattern. I think it would look more interesting.
I like this pattern, it is tested, and when making a new dress I will make the midriff on bias.
In between I have made this top from dark blue jersey. The hems where waiting for sewing machine where I was busy with lining. Now I can change the threads and finish it 
. I love working with knits …
I definitely need to paint the table again – these all marks on the pictures….
Now I have space to follow-up on a Chanel-like jacket based on V8804. I am just on time for the Little French Jacket sew-along.
The muslin is ready – now I have to decide on a fabric. And this is not easy …

Congrats on the dress – look forward to seeing more.
If it was my choice, I would make the Chanel-esque jacket either out of the red/orange or the white/cream.
Thanks!
Hmmm interesting choice… I will probably cut small pieces of all fabrics, put them in a hat and make a choice in such way 🙂
