Wilder Gown

 Hello Everyone!

This is my first official post since I started back to blogging and it has been a few years.  Check out my ABOUT page for a quick intro on my return.


 Pattern:  Wilder Gown by Friday Pattern Company


Where does this fit into my sewing plan?  Using my sewing  plan that I outlined in my ABOUT page as a checklist let's see how I did:


  • I like clean, simple styles - sew simple basic pieces - 
    • The Wilder Gown by Friday Pattern Company was such a simple, easy dress to sew and in my opinion a very simple basic style that looks gorgeous.  It didn't take me long to make and I didn't have to rip seams or make adjustments.       
  • I love classic styles - sew with good fabric and make pieces that will last forever
    • This fabric is a beautiful vintage fabric from my stash lightweight with a lovely drape.
  • Build a wardrobe - sew items that work together, mix and match, and be cohesive
    • It's a start.
  • Work wear - I need more work clothes -  Clothes for a professional office
    • I think this dress can be styled multiple ways.  I plan to add a pair of heels and a jacket for the office and sneakers or sandals for casual.
  • No Waste & Storing - I plan to use my scraps.  If I have enough fabric left over from a project to make a basic piece, I will do it.  No more storing left over fabric planning to use it later. 
    • I have fabric left from the dress that I have already cut out into a simple blouse that will be great on its own or layered under a jacket.  Stay tuned for that post.
    •  
  • Fabric - I have a large fabric collection!  I purchased a truck load of fabric when a local fabric store closed.  An entire pickup full of fabric for under $100!  Beautiful fabric that I want and need to use but it is OK to buy some new fabric when the project calls for it.
    • This fabric came from my stash.
  • Fun - I will add a few fun items😀
    • Definitely a fun dress to wear and to sew.

 This was a very easy pattern to cut and sew.  I love the packaging of the pattern and the little notes they include in the instructions.   I will definitely be making this again.
