So nice she made it twice – Simplicity 2694
July 13, 2010
Janet’s back after a wee sewing hiatus with these two beauties. The pattern is Simplicity 2694 – a Project Runway number – and the fabric is Primaluna, a beautiful, felted cashmere (10%)/wool(70%)/poly (20%) blend that’s available to order at all stores.
The two dresses are made up in Viola and Winter White colourways. Both fabrics were purchased from our remnant table so Janet had to play around with some of the pattern pieces to suit the fabric lengths available. You’ll see that her sleeves and collar are a little different to the pattern options. In both dresses, she used the selvedge as hem.
Wish I'd thought of the button idea. They are a very original touch.
This really looks great. Love the button idea!
I love those modifications….modern and fresh, but it's such a flattering style.
Great dresses – lovely fabric!
Lovely buttons!
Very flattering and looks warm and comfy too!
Cute and a nice personalised touch with the buttons.
Very sweet, and flattering. Could make a lovely summer frock too!
Beautiful dresses! I love your blog, everything looks so great!!
Both are beautiful, but I love white one more. It suits you very well.
