Materials

cotton fabric, zipper

What was your inspiration?

Some of the fabric was given to me by my aunt. It was bought in early 90"s. The pattern has that vintage look. I used some older lace on the yellow dress.

What are you most proud of?

That all my seams are nice, and flat! It is a very clean look and my zippers turned out, too. I have been sewing for about a year and zippers give me issues. I did learn to sew back in the 70's so I am always looking for those 70's patterns and fabric. I stopped sewing after that, gave it a try in the early 90's with maternity clothes. Then stopped again until about a yr ago when I bought a new sewing machine. The 1970's sewing machine finally wore out.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Press your seams. It was a nice pattern to sew.
