Wow, it took me long enough to get in the mood again. I think I have two problems. First, I have so many things that I want to get accomplished, and Second, I just cannot get started. In both cases, I feel overwhelmed. If I don't have enough time to sew, then I would prefer to just sit on my you-know-what and just not even start. Wrong! I need to work in small time alotments, and watch the creation emerge.
Pattern: E-Book Empirchen Top. Two variations, one for cottons or wovens, and one for knits.
I ordered it from Germany (Farbenmix).
Size: 74/80
Fabric: 100% cotton.
What I liked about this pattern:
Everything. I love the E-books because the pattern just has to be printed and taped together. I wish all the companies would jump on this banwagon. Very easy to follow. Sizing was great.
What did you dislike about this pattern:
I did not like the way the pattern was put together. Not quite clean enough for me. I decided to use my own techniques once I read through the instructions. I doubled the front and back. It gives the garment more stability, and both the inside and the outside look cleaner.
I added three buttons to the front, however I think a large crochet flower would look nicer.
A You-Tube Video shows exactly how to crochet the flower for the front of the dress.
