It was going to be a pinafore first but then I really wanted to try the Tulip dress. The pattern from TAL is very straightforward with printing lines and joining lines easy to see. I must have bought my own sellotape factory by now with the amount of A4 pattern joining I do.
The fabric from Hobbycraft is a soft cotton. I was going to topstitch the seams but it didn’t lend anything to the pattern and I like the clean lines.
It took about six hours total to make the dress but I’m a procrastinator and like to stop to do some knitting or walk the dog. That meant my six hours was over two days.
It needs a press but I’m happy with the result. I need to get better at invisible zips as they are awful.
Pattern scores 8/10 for representing the finished garment from the drawing.
I have no idea where I’ll wear it but it’s not about the destination it’s all about the journey x
