My fave dress pattern - One Week One Pattern

It is finally Spring! Time for spring dresses!

Tilly is organising a fun little thing next week - One Week One Pattern. Sewers will wear clothes made from one pattern for a week. It can be one garment for the whole week, or different garments using one pattern. Most people will be doing it March 24 - 30. Lots of sewers have a favourite pattern they have sewn up a million times. Mine is Burda 7829.




It's a very flattering style of dress. I think I have used this pattern about 7 times.... Some of the versions I modified quite a bit so they aren't so recognizable anymore.

I even used this pattern to make a navy polka dot dress for my friend Astrid a few years ago.


I don't have all the versions of this dress anymore, I have maybe 4 of them here so I am going to get sewing another one today. I have some fabric I dragged back from Istanbul last year that I want to use.

Ooh! I've loved all versions of this dress that you've made so far and can't wait to see this latest iteration. And, of course, see them all on parade soon :-).
