It’s been awhile since I last posted something on the blog or for that matter since I really sewed something.
So again I thought of sewing for the flip the pattern series. For the month of March the pattern was beachy boatneck From blank slate patterns.
I used a stripe knit fabric and cut it at the bias to make the bodice. this tutorial came in handy and was very useful.
The flips include;
• A slightly A -line
• Flutter sleeves for a feminine look
• Peter pan collar
• A short gather skirt attached at the bellow
I took grate care in matching up the stripes in the front, back as well as at the side seams.
Even though I kind of got a migraine after cutting out the pattern when matching up all the lines, the end result was worth it I guess.
Oh and thanks a lot Melissa for the facing on the neckline. I loved it.
Thanks for reading.
