A staple dress for me, selfish sewing week

Yay, I managed to complete a selfish sewing week item! Just in the nick of time I might add, since today is the last day. I've seen some really beautiful garments pop up in the blogosphere during this week and noticed a colour trend of grey, blue and black. Well these are my favourites too, so today I add another grey item to the selfish sewing week pool.

I made my second staple dress (pattern by April Rhodes). The staple dress consists out of just two pattern pieces and is an easy sew with a neat french seam finish.The instructions indicate shirring the waist but I decided to leave it as it is. This way it can be worn as a dress with a little belt or more like a tunic with jeans underneath.

So did you make anything for selfish sewing week?

  5. There is no resemblance between the two in my opinion! A staple dress is one that you can wear again and it will always look excellent. Google Scholar thesis themes are simply a collection of ideas generated by someone - there is no assurance that any of them are genuinely good!

  13. While I was reading, it occurred to me that creating a perfect dress is a bit like troubleshooting a complex electronic system, such as a printer formatter board. Just like how you meticulously select the right fabric and pattern, engineers work tirelessly to choose the best components and layout for a formatter board. It's all about precision and getting every element just right.

  14. One of the standout features of the monogram neverfull is its roomy interior and versatile design. The bag can be used as a spacious carryall, perfect for everyday use, or cinched in on the sides for a more compact and structured silhouette. The thin leather handles and gold-tone hardware add a touch of sophistication and elegance, while the natural cowhide leather trim and handles develop a beautiful patina over time, making each bag unique.
