Yesterday I made a practice dress to make sure the bodice that I
randomly drafted from a sundress would work for Maggie's Wendy Darling
dress. This is for 2 reasons. One, I can't find my pattern and vaguely
remember packing some sewing stuff I thought I didn't need for now and put it up for long term storage,
and two because I am a detail oriented obsessed and I noticed that neckline is boat neck. Most dresses that have puff sleeves don't have that kind of neck line! So I did what I do and added an unnecessary task of
making this pattern from scratch. I actually enjoy this kind of stuff.
I also decided that I wanted to have this sheer blue over the solid blue. To make it more, I don't know, Shimmery? Dreamy? Floaty? Those are all Maggieisms. So yes. You would think I am making her a wedding gown or prom dress when I make these details so ridiculous, and not a dress that is going to be destroyed in our church's Trunk or Treat bouncy castle (true story, that happened to her Little Red dress last year) But aw well. I truly love this stuff and figuring it all out. And I love seeing the girls check on how it's going, telling me what they are going to sew when I let them use the machine one day.
So here is where I underline the pattern pieces after reading this tutorial. Stayed tuned!
