Here is my Burda 2/2019 #115 dress sewing pattern review of the project that I sewed up earlier this year. It was one of those sewing projects where the sum is greater than the parts.

When I start sewing a project, I never really know where it will take me. There are times when I change my mind just before cutting into a piece of fabric. So it was with this project.

The fabric that I used has been in my fabric collection for well over 5 years. It was one of those that I bought early on in my sewing journey. I do recall that it was John Kaldor as I had just discovered John Kaldor’s range of fabrics and proceeded to buy up any that I could find reasonably priced.

This purple and black beauty came from the Sew Essential online shop. The drape on the crepe is just beautiful and lovely. It almost flows through my fingers. It is also deliciously soft with fantastic fluid movement. It is no wonder I have been rather precious about it.

The sleeve fabric is a sheer poly mix fabric was from Minerva -the colours fit quite well together.

The contrasting sleeve was a result of necessity as I didn’t have enough of the main fabric to sew up the sleeves. After digging around in my fabric stash I stumbled upon the sleeve material.

Sometimes it is a good thing to shop the stash!
