Vestiaire Scandinave - Solveig Dress

I have had another productive weekend and made two projects.

Earlier this week, I found another sewing book called "Vestiaire Scandinave" and thought I would give a shot at one of the dresses called "Solveig Dress".

The book

As we were celebrating my niece's 7th birthday over the weekend and I realised I had nothing to wear (well...nothing that I fancied wearing anyway), I bought some fabric after work on Friday and got started as soon as I got home. OK, after dinner and a cup of tea :-)

Here is the result:

The original dress

Considering it was done in one night, I am pretty happy with myself.

One thing I need to learn to do is to alter patterns as this dress is straight so not very flattering for fuller figures like mine... I will learn someday. Right now, I am just able to cut a pattern and make the garment which is already quite good if I may say so.

I have made a top as well: my first, but that's for another post.

Hope you have all had a good weekend!
