Hello all!
Well here I am, 5 months after my last blogpost. Life has been busy, but you don't want to hear excuses. Let's get to the sewing!
I thought I'd kick off the season with a collection of Christmas dresses I have sewed without patterns. I hope you enjoy!
I still love this dress. It feels elegant and formal - perfect for a Christmas party!
I wrote a semi-tutorial for it, which you can view here.
Another favorite! I love the pattern on this fabric, as well as the lace-up feature on the back of the dress :)
I most likely sewed this for Christmas 2022; but it was blogged in a Valentine's post, so I will not put a definite date on it. It still makes a fabulous holiday dress.
I usually wear it with a belt.
Its main feature is a fold-back collar which I embellished with lace and a button.
The sleeves are shaped by a hook-and-eye closure, as seen above. I can unhook this if I want to roll up my sleeves.
I installed an invisible zipper in the back.
What should follow all these past sewing projects is my 2025 Christmas dress. But alas! It has yet to be sewn. I will give you a hint though:
This year, it's going to be deep green.
I think I can take a break from red for a year or two :)
I've scheduled the start date for this project, and look forward to sewing it up!
Keep an eye out for a post about it in the next few weeks!
Thank you for reading. I do hope you come back soon.
Lillian
