Regency Easter Dress

 Hello all,

My mother and I went to Joanns last month. I think I was looking for quilt fabric, and she was going to make herself a formal skirt. We weren't looking for anything too expensive. 

But all because of Budding Romance, we ended up walking out with quite a bit of fabric. It was none of my fault, I assure you!! ;)

This regency-style jumper is made from another adapted E-pattern. My mother had used the pattern before and altered it to be a jumper, but this was my first time sewing it.

The fabric...Oh, it is sweet! So sweet, in fact, we had to have the whole bolt to make matching Easter dresses.

What did you all do for Easter?

Easter Dress Idea

 Hello all! 

How's your spring progressing? We woke up to another inch-and-a-half of snow or so this morning. Oh, for some warm weather!

Today I'm sharing a dress I made for Easter last year. My grandmother sent me this picture (it may have been from Pinterest), and I decided to copy the dress - it was so lovely!

Here is my rendition of it!

My mother helped me tackle the project. She showed me how to take one piece of fabric and use box-pleats to shape the front of the dress.

The front of the dress features box-pleats, and the back is gathered.

I learned how to cover buttons from an on-line tutorial. Some of them have come a little loose from the dress, and could use a refastening.

Hopefully you enjoyed this dress. Check back on the blog next week to see more sewing projects!
