Hi crafty chaps!
(Yup, another creative title from Mr Loops…!)
I’ve absolutely been wanting this fabric for aaages, I love colour but I also adore skull designs and gothy dark looks, so I made myself a nice festive skull dress for Xmas which I’m sure my Mum will disapprove of
I used a woven dress pattern, but as a plus size laaaaydey with inflammatory arthritis worst in my arms I prefer to wear stretchy clothes without closures, so I figured using a knit fabric for it would work nicely!
Of course the downfall is that I got kinda carried away, didn’t read the instructions (my bad… ) and had to unpick 5 seams, so that was fun for my poor arthritic hands! On the plus side it came together in the end, and the fabric was nice enough to not show what I’d done!
On the minus side though, I only realised when we were taking pictures that I’d neglected to add pockets, aaaaaaaaaaaaargh nooooooooooooo!!
Since the dress has a lovely full circle skirt, I think it would look great with a bit of poooof in the bottom so I’m thinking perhaps a nice tulle petticoat would work nice in a pop of colour, maybe orange?? I’m also pondering getting more of the same fabric in red or denimy blue to make another
No Rosie shots this time I’m afraid because she preferred to stay behind the thermal curtain where it was warm!
I used this cotton jersey fabric from Minerva, and the Evanescent dress pattern [affiliate link] by George and Ginger
Hope you like!
