I wore a dress I made from the Butterick 5778 a few years past and realized how much I really like this pattern. I'm 70+ pounds lighter now but the dress fit nice and I need some knit fabric therapy after the purple faille sheath dress.

The cowl is a little low for my taste but not extreme. I prefer a little more modest neckline.

I wish I had something exciting to tell you about sewing up this dress. It goes together very easily. Nothing complicated. A quick sew with nice results.

I used 3 yards of a blue and white daub print ITY knit I had in my stash from Fabric Mart Fabrics that I purchased in 2018 for $2.99 a yard. That $8.97 dress!

I did finish painting the laundry room and now I'm moving onto the pantry. It the size of a walk in closet and my ladder barely fits in there. The pantry was in dire need of a good cleaning and since the laundry room is all cleaned and organized I had plenty of room to store all the food in there temporarily and still find food.
The washing machine decided to die but luckily I still had 2 weeks on the extended warranty! They were unable to fix it so Lowe's refunded my purchase price of the washer and I turned around and bought another one. So for $127 I got a brand new washing machine.
I'm off to paint something else...............
Until next time................

ReplyDeleteI agree with Florida farmwife. The dress is really pretty, and looks well on you. Good job!
