Once in a blue moon pics of the kid cos she looks too darn happy posing! The #warliart design comes alive in my first quite-complex sewing project. It has a button placket, button-holes and buttons all sewed on the machine; piping and lining; sleeves based on a pattern made from scratch and fitted to this sleeveless A-line pattern from @made_everyday. Fabric design by yours truly and printed by @spoonflower. Brand-name designed by yours truly and printed with @wunderlabel. To be honest, I’m not entirely happy with this - the fabric was thicker than I expected and I added lining all the whole second guessing whether this dress really needs to be lined; blind sewing sleeves is still a painful thing for me (all those hidden pins poking away!). But hey, cutting myself some slack because really if you think about it I started sewing only in Feb! Anyway, kiddo looks happy and said to me “Don’t call this messed up! I LOVE everything you make for me!” 😘 #diymom #covid19 #sewistsofinstagram #growingupwithIndy #parenthood (at Port Liberté, Jersey City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-K2MuGpJPE/?igshid=vexyjs67u9y7
