Mad Men Challenge On Hold :(

| Published 3.16.2012

So, I've pretty much run out of sewing time before the deadline. I'm still going to sew the dress, seeing as I already have the fabric. If I tried to get it done before the deadline though I would be rushing my sewing, and that's where I always end up making mistakes.

Fabric Selected!

| Published 2.27.2012

So Remember when I had all these awesome fabrics picked out for my mad men challenge dress? I went pretty modern with my actual selection. 5 yards for 55$

I know it's not the exact print, but I think it can totally have the same feeling.

Mad Men Challenge

| Published 2.24.2012

I'm taking part in the Julia Bobbin Mad Men Challenge

It's taken me quite awhile to find a dress to recreate. I didn't want something that look too difficult seeing as I'm not super confident in my sewing abilities at this point. I also didn't want to do something that I thought everyone else would do. I chose this dress Trudy wore for derby day in the episode "My Old Kentucky Home".

I'm going to see if I can fraken pattern something together with a circle skirt and see what I can get! I'm having trouble finding the right print though! I know that the fabric is probably chiffon, but I'm definitely going towards a more poly or cotton kind of road.
So Far these are some contenders.
