Listening: Matt Harlan
Five years ago when Hancock's closed, I got a yard of the AH-MAZ-ING 1970s-style print on clearance. I couldn't get any more. A friend of mine got the last of it from the Hancock's near his office and mailed it to me from Wisconsin as a surprise.
I've been sitting on it ever since because some fabrics you really cannot risk wasting on the wrong project. I knew what I wanted but I had to make sure I had the right pattern to achieve it.
Enter 9880, Again,
I was experimenting for something else: Rotated 9880's bust dart to the waist and took the waist in a little more. Made it out of some stiff blue calico that I got who-knows-where. Folks, we had a winner!
So I whipped up some set-in cap sleeves and the crazypants kaleidoscope floral is now a dress.
It is THE DRESS.
Actually, the test version is pretty awesome, too. I'm gonna wear them both a lot, I can tell.
