I made a dress last week from three different patterned materials. I took photos of said dress and posted them on www.craftsy.com for the world to see. I thought I also posted them here. This dress is very similar to a dress my daughter wants me to make for her. After telling her to look on my blog I realized I failed to post them here, or anywhere else online. In fact, the photos seemed to have disappeared from my hard drive as well. I began to wonder if I actually took those photos. Yes, I did, they were on the craftsy site. So, where did they go? I searched all the usual places I keep things and they weren't there. Then I began to wonder, what if it was all my imagination? Maybe I didn't make the dress after all. No, it was in my closet, hanging with the matching headband and purse I made.
Now that I'm 50, I imagine I can feel the brain cells slipping off my gray matter and falling, unnoticed from my ears. Once I could remember the birthdays of all my First Grade classmates. Now I'm lucky if I remember my own.
I did manage to come up with this photo after some searching. As you can see, it's a fairly simple sundress with an empire waist. The skirt is straight which looks fine, but I think the next time I make it I will make a flare skirt. The flare is more comfortable and I feel as though my waist is better camouflaged.
Hey, I just found the photos! They were where I put them, just not the edited ones you could actually see. Oh well, two minutes in a graphics program and voila!
As you can see, the belt isn't attached. I did not use a pattern, nor did I have enough of any one fabric to create the dress. Being the creative problem solver I am, I found three different stash fabrics in very similar patterns and colors.
This particular dress was designed and created for myself, but I will have a few up for sale shortly. Right now I'm still trying to cope with a major infection in my leg and I think it may be time for a nap :0
