On Saturday I purchased a pre cut dress express kit to help me get out of my sewing rut. I've been uninspired and just not feeling it with sewing lately. It's a soft knit in a black and white tie dye pattern. The instructions were pretty straight forward and simple. They have you stitch one shoulder seam and then do all of the bindings (neck & 2 SH seams). After that it's side seams and hemming it. I chose to serge all my sides and the hem. For now I have left the hem alone. I'm considering finding a trim that would add a little bit of funkiness to the bottom of the dress. But if not, I will just hem it an inch or two and it'll be great.
Pictured Right is the completed dress on my male mannequin. My female mannequin is currently broken so I've been using my male one for everything. Once I get a better picture of me wearing the dress I will post it!
Right now I don't have my next project lined up, but I will probably start something this coming weekend. If anything, this was so simple and easy I may go back and get another dress kit in a different pattern and give it to someone else. It's nice to just already have the fabric cut and binding ready, plus there is no extra leftover scraps. I'll probably end up making something with materials I already own.
