A Mara/Louisa hybrid dress
February 16, 2014
At the eleventh hour (well, almost), I finished this dress so that I could enter it into the fun Compagnie M sewing competition. Marte has organised some great sponsors and prizes for people who would like to create a garment by creatively using one or more of her great patterns.
I morphed the Mara and Louisa patterns to create this colourful dress. The bib detail is care of the Mara pattern. I incorporated the curved back panels of the Louisa dress and also included the panels on the front of the dress. I had some trouble printing the Louisa pattern (I was using a printer I don't usually use). I therefore had to guess the dress length which is why it is a little short.
I covered some white cord with apricot bias binding for my piping. The blue spotted fabric is a Robert Kaufman print that I received from Rachel as part of Marte and Marta's Mailbox surprise series. The orange and teale leaf print was from Spotlight - although I have forgotten the name.
If you would like to 'vote' for my dress, head over to Compagnie M and 'like' it. I could win a cool prize! Thank you and thank you Marte!
