Heyhey,

so your voting made 2 patterns to winners, since the same amount of people voted for each one, and since I really like both of them I decided to sew them both. Starting with the retro looking dress #122:

 I already ordered the fabrics, but they will take a little to get here, so this week I start with the pattern of the dress. Next week I work on the pattern of the other winner the jumpsuit #119. And the week after my fabrics should be here, so I can start cutting both projects.

So here comes the dress pattern:

 the front piece looks funny, like a banana 😉

I don’t like skirts getting smaller towards the seam, that just looks weird on me, so I drew a straight line down from the hip

then added seam allowance (I use 1cm) and hem allowance (3cm)

of course I did the same to the side-seam at the back-part

then I made a mistake by copying the sleeve part

it was partly inside my back part, where I already added seam allowance

so this is what I did, I added seam allowance to the sleeve, and hem allowance (in this case 6cm, because sleeves are often to short for me)

but only until the seam allowance of my back part

then I cut my back part out

glued another piece of paper into the hole

and drew a new line and added seam and hem allowance

all pattern parts

 here I placed the facings where the belong later

Do you have any questions about the dress so far? Do not hesitate to ask!

keep sewing and smiling
