When Erin, the lovely Miss Crayola Creepy, sneek peek'ed her
Cat Lady Sewing Challenge WIP I promptly fell in love with her fabric.
Yes, please. I instantly saw a vision of cats, yellow piping, and yellow buttons. I missed the Cat Lady Sewing Challenge, which is lucky for me because Tilly introduced her new lovely pattern,
Francoise.
Tilly is one of my favorite bloggers. She's so sweet and adorable, and I loved watching her on the first season of The Great British Sewing Bee. She's just a doll! I love her style and also just acquired her new book,
Love At First Stitch. My vision of a purple and black fat cat dress with yellow piping and buttons suddenly formed in the shape of a Francoise dress. Complete with black collar, yellow piped edges, and too cute for words buttons down the front.
Tilly also announced a
contest. Well okay then! This is the first time I have participated in any sort of sewing challenge or contest, and I'm extremely pleased with how my dress turned out. It is *exactly* how I pictured.
#SewingFrancoise
This is my first time
successfully sewing piping, as well as a successful collar. I'm pleased as punch. Am I bold enough to wear a cat dress in public? Why yes, yes I am.
This dress is an homage to my very own fat cat, Linux.
Love, love, love this! It's such a shame you just missed the Cat Lady Sewing Challenge, as this is so purrfect for it (sorry, I couldn't hold back!). I have this fabric too to make as a bag for a friend, but got garment envy now. I love what you did with the piping, I would have chosen that kind of contrast too. If you're going to pop, pop, I say! I've never done piping before so well done you. Good luck with the Francoise competition, if there is public voting (is there, I can't remember?), you have mine :) PS I saw your review of the Jade skirt on the CSC and I bought it based on your make. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! If I make Tilly's top faves list there will be public voting for the winners. I'm so glad you like the Jade skirt! You will love it!!
DeleteThis dress is amazingggggg! I especially like that you did the collar in black for some contrast. But most importantly, what did Linux think of the dress?!?!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Inspired by you! Linux is the original Grumpy Cat and is quite offended that I'm suggesting he is a chunky dude.
DeleteSylvie!! This looks awesome!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :D
