It was a very simply sew, I just didn't expect it to fit quite so poorly.Dixie O'Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020702451013318284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601320072000337.post-33716507492909485592017-02-26T00:13:37.855+11:002017-02-26T00:13:37.855+11:00Adorable!

I've always been a fan of Kaufman's Halloween prints, this reminds me of his Eerie Alley stuff, I used one of his cottons in a spider rockabilly dress I made. I once won eleven Kwik Sew patterns in a contest a long time ago, and I was iffy on what to choose because there were like no reviews on PR! The reason is because most PR members felt Kwik Sew patterns are overpriced. They're also rather dated, they only started releasing more up to date styles recently. I find construction wise most of it is on the more simplistic side. I've only made one top so far and I've yet to finish it, but it's pretty straight forward as far as assembly goes. I think Kwik Sew patterns are those kind of patterns that make good foundations but need alterations.Ladyfairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402600337611206195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601320072000337.post-13344227972616278022017-02-25T18:05:02.368+11:002017-02-25T18:05:02.368+11:00I'm studying a Bachelor of teaching in Design ...I'm studying a Bachelor of teaching in Design and Technology, minoring in Textiles!

There's no way I could wear a shop bought dress, now that I've made myself a handful of dresses where the waist sits at the waistline.<br /><br />Your dress looks like a lot of fun, though - no wonder it received so many compliments. Everyone loves a print. :)<br /><br />What are you studying at university? I simply can't remember if you've mentioned it on your blog - sorry!<br /><br />Katie @ <a href="http://katiewritesstuff.com" rel="nofollow">Katie Writes Stuff</a>Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932069562588157361noreply@blogger.com
