mmmwha! How are you my sexy sewing/fashion friends? I am getting ready for a band show tonight! I have been also sewing a new dress that has turned out to be quite a muther! I made a video about how I altered the pattern. You will see!
Ok Ladies, you know what is AWESOME about SEWING? You can take your scraps and made MORE dresses! Seriously it is so cool. It spurs me to be more creative with prints and solids. Here is my Route 66 pattern cotton used in a different dress. The pattern is the same as my "Los Novios: Dia de los muertos" dress.
It has a beautiful low-scoop neck back.
See the beautiful blue car? It was the inspiration for the blue color. If you remember the previous dress made with the Route 66 fabric (see my right side column) I focused in on the light green. This time I used the blue and it takes the print to a whole different level I think. Funny how that happens.
This pattern came with the beautiful pocket design. On the "muertos" dress I made them black contrast. This dress I decided to make the pockets blend in with the skirt.
You have to be close to see the pockets. I find them very handy!
Daaaaarlinks My profile is glamorous, no? Booty Time!
So some women may say NO to having two dresses with the same print-----me-----I say YES!
What a chance to showcase a favorite print in two fun ways!

Ohh I like it with the blue! I TOTALLY need to practice with my sewing machine more so I can make dresses!
I love this dress and happy to see you are back blogging - the neckline is FANTASTIC!
love your last photo, you look fabulous, darrrrrrling!
You clever little minx! I totally did not spot those pockets in the 1st photos. Fabulous dress, you always look so hot!
Very nice! I love the pockets - I didn't notice them at first, so they're like secret pockets! This is definitely a good use for fabric scraps.
Good luck with the band show!! :) You look amazing!
I love when my scraps make even more things- lovely dress- the skirt is nice and swishy....
That fabric is inspiring, and love the neckline details - too cute!
Good idea with the two fabrics - just think, you could make it the other way around too, pattern on bottom and plain on top - variations are endless. You made me try out a weird Red Riding Hood cotton that I would never have considered before reading your blog - oh the influence you have is far reaching!
this is just a little note to let you know that i really enjoy reading your blog, and have a little award waiting for you.
if you're time-pressed and hate the idea of having to follow these 'rules', or if you're stridently anti-award, please don't feel obligated to respond.
i'm just letting you know that your
blog is among those i like best!
OMG! We made cushions for our VW camper out of that route 66 fabric in the UK! Cool! :)
Cada vez vas haciendo cosas más fantásticas! ME encantan!
Your posts inspire me so much - you are a sewing hero!
Que buena idea! te quedo lindisimo el vestido.

y las pockets.
besios
You are certainly right about the blue bringing the print to life. Love the dress, and you look magnificent in it!
