There's something uber exciting about receiving mail in the post. The actual hard-copy post. It's a real delight to come home to.
I've received lots of parcels lately after swapping as part of the Perfect Noses' patterns and postcards swap. It's a really great idea and not only do you get to get rid of pattens you never use, you get to receive new exciting patterns and meet some great ladies along the way!
First up, I swapped the Perfect Nose for some of her traced magazine patterns, including a boatneck Knitmode dress.
I was keen for simple project so this mod dress was the perfect thing. I've had this quilting cotton in my stash for a while, I originally had meant to make it into the Burda Alexander top and a pencil skirt but just never got around to it.
The dress is lovely, the boob-bit is a wee bit tight for my liking but I think it would be great to make this again in a fabric with a bit more stretch.
Here are some of the other patterns I swapped for:
A big thank you to Perfect Nose, Busy Lizzie, Sew Squirrel, Beata, for swapping with me, I can't wait to get started!
I still have a few more patterns left, if you'd like to take a look here.
If you're ever interested in borrowing a pattern too just give me a shout - I'm always happy to post them around for other people to trace and use.

Benj got all craft with the photos this time too. "Lean in the corner, lift your foot up, look away..." - a photographer in the making I reckon!

Woo, I am so excited! That is awesome! Re boob fitting perhaps you could let out the dart a bit or just shorten it?
ReplyDeleteYeah good idea. I think I could just not have the darts as all and it would probably still work. Might try that next time. Thanks for the pattern!
