Vogue 8648

I had plans on making The Couture Dress for my birthday and life interrupted so I said OK, I will make it as my Easter dress well life interrupted again. I would say I will make it for Mothers Day but I have another dress planned for that day( I don't have the pattern in front of me and of course I don't remember the name). I am still currently working on the couture dress, its Vogue 8648.
For this dress I am using a deep red Shantung fabric, with a nice blue lining. My muslin fitting went well. I need to add alittle to my hip area but besides that, the fit is perfect. For the interlining I am using Organza.
I am using Susan's class over at Craftsy to make the dress..and I am learning so much. I am making the one on the bottom right hand corner.
Hopefully I can be done some time in the next two weeks. I will upload pics of my fabric soon.

New Dress

I have been so busy these past few weeks, but I managed to finish my dress. The fabric is knit/jersey.
Its from New Look 6097. It was fairly easy to make. I want to make it again but out of cotton, so I will have to change the pattern up a bit to add a zipper.

The fabric is sooo soft. I love it. I picked up the fabric from The Fabric Warehouse. It is just a warehouse full of designer fabrics at discount prices. On top of that they have 50% off their entire stock at least twice a year. They have 3 locations, 2 in New Jersey and 1 in PA.
