Sometimes a project gets set aside because I can’t find my way to making a key decision.
This is such a project.
And yet, with the time for wearing short sleeved cotton dresses fast disappearing, and Maddie’s school break in the South of France quickly approaching, I need to get moving.
The problem is, I have a specific inspiration photo in mind which I love. And once again, I have less fabric to execute the design than I need. Compromises must be made, and none of my two options seems less bad than the other.
The inspiration dress is two pieces. So it requires a waistband. But giving up the fabric to do this might mean I don’t have enough for the bias trim, which is a key detail of the outfit. Thus I must choose between using a substitute fabric for the band (which will be covered) or making a one piece dress.
I don’t want to do either of these things.
So I’m stuck.
But I am pushing through.
There WILL be a new pattern, very soon.
I promise!
