Ah, midterms....that time of the year when you have a million things to do and no time to do them....

My time the past two months has been consumed by patternmaking... and it is no easy feat.

For our midterm project we had to create the pattern, and sew this lovely little dress....

The skirt has inverted box pleating, the dress is lined with a contoured slip, and has buttons down the front....



Whew.... this dress was a lot of work....

It was well worth the time, as I did learn a lot sewing this dress....


I decided to line mine in a red cotton material, and the dress itself will be black...

Pics of the final dress to come.....
