Ottobre sewalong Funny Faces Dress Done

Are you participating in the Ottobre Sewalong at sewalong over at SewMcCool?  I finished my Funny Faces dress and here it is!  I thin it turned out great!





The top is made from Fresh Produce Floral Circles jersey knit.  It has a slight bit of stretch to it so I cut the binding bits a tad longer than recommended. I knew they would need the extra length since they don't have much stretch to them. Had I not cut them longer, they would not have pulled nicely and they would have created a wavy neckline. 

 

I made view B, with a woven cotton skirt.  The skirting is Jennifer Paganelli Lucky Girl Maggie in green.  The colors go so nicely together!  


See how nice the neckline looks!  I am quite proud of this one!


 This pattern has sleeves that are slightly bell shaped. They come to a gentle gather and cuff and have binding to cover the gathering.  It creates a lovely fullness.  I think it turned out quite nicely.

The pattern was simple to follow and cut out and I enjoyed putting it together. As usual, I highly recommend Ottobre patterns for the advanced beginner seamstress on up.  They are a tad too complicated, lacking in complete directions, for a beginner.

  1. This looks really nice! :) For some reason when you posted your fabric choice I thought they would be the other way around. I wasn't paying any attention which was knit and which not. :) I hope your miss likes it.
