The challenge for this week is .'Dont judge a pattern by its cover". we were to take an ugly pattern envelope and make a pretty garment from it..
Pattern: Simplicity 3480 [free..dont know where it came from]
Fabric- Wal mart Fabric -summer sale-$1.00 yd- used 3 yds-Total -$3.00
Coordinating Fabric- free [left over from another project]
Wear again-- Yes.. very comfortable.
I chose this fabric because it was summery and cool looking. I thought if I chose a pretty spring
fabric, It would help this pattern.It is pretty much straight pattern with no extras. I added some pleated
pockets,and used a pink stripe contrast fabric, to make cuffs on pocket and sleeves.. I then used the
contrast fabric to make a narrow tie belt. The belt helped the square box look.
All in all.. my challenge is complete.. and I have another simple dress for the hot summer months ahead..
