Vogue 5777 Finished

Vintage Vogue 5777

 I finished this vintage pattern that  was given to me in a pattern
swap by: Busy Lizzie..  She had made this dress, and I fell
in love with it. Sorry my photos didn't pick up very well. The
navy and white check  really blurred. The pattern went
together really well. The fabric
was  a knit that I had in my stash... I put red handmade piping in the
neck. I covered the buttons with a red  fabric. I also
made the belt that came with it.[But, it just didn't work
for me, so I used a RTW belt , I already had].Check
out  Lizzie's dress she made.. Thank you Liz for the pattern.

made this dress in a beautiful red color.. I fell in love with
it, when I saw it..  Liz was so sweet to do a pattern swap with me.
 She added this beautiful bias tape and  tied it all up with  a
 pretty red ribbon. Thank you Liz.
 Be sure to go check out her blog, she makes some adorable
things.

 I can't wait to make this pattern. It is going to be my Valentine's
day dress.Not sure if I will do it in red or pink?? What do
you think?  I am fixing to  grade the pattern, and then
do a muslin [hopefully  a wearable muslin].. Will post
photos soon.

Sewing Pattern Swap Package

Kat from the Sew weekly,  started a pattern swap with some of the girls..  My package arrived  all the way from  the UK..   I was so excited to see  the name Rachel Pinheiro,  on the label..  As she is one of my sweet sewing buddy friends..   I excitedly tore open the package to find the MOST wonderful contents..  [I think she went over board, and spoilt me].   It was the cutest  pattern, some really cute pink floral fabric,  buttons,
  trims.   And then..   to add to all this , was a  yummy chocolate flower  and all kinds of flavors of tea.   And then,   she sent the most treasured gift....  She made me a  tissue holder,   I will treasure it forever.   Now how sweet is that?
  Thankyou  Rachel.. Your pattern swap package is  fantastic and I love, love everything!!!

The pattern is so cute..   I am already planning on using it.. I  am hoping it will fit into  one of the SW challenges within the next couple weeks.
