I got distracted by my pattern collection yesterday.
I've had 4663 for awhile. I'm not sure when/why I bought it; I'm sure it was really cheap but it's not necessarily the kind of pattern that works particularly well for me.
And:
I'm making the dress. It's a lot longer than they make it look. I haven't decided yet how long it will actually be. I originally planned to use a mid-length pattern with a ruffle around the bottom but I couldn't find the pattern. This one is similar. But I think I'm still shooting for mid-length. I like the idea of long but maybe not with this print.
Yup.
Red-orange and brown bandana print. It's cotton, not cotton-polyester, amazingly enough. It's not that faded in real life; this isn't a good picture.
My pattern is a bust 36. I left the back yoke the same width since I always have to add width, anyway, and reduced the overall width of the front yoke, but then did a makeshift FBA but spreading a small wedge from the shoulder down (Photoshop-enhanced):
The yoke. This shows the fabric better.
I mean to get more done but the cat was awful and then fell asleep in my lap.
