dress - self made

it feels like these pics were shot ages ago 

while it was more like a week ago

while we were still traveling..

they were shot in dalmatia

in the village where my mother was born and raised

..

a week later

i'm back home

back to a month of piled up work

and weather went from indian summer to full on november 

so.. i'll be sewing trench coats and wool jackets any day now

but today, i wanna share my last summer dress of the year

..

it's made using burda's pattern 

(from august this year, no. 116)

i had 1.3m of fabric, while burda calls for a bit over 2m

hence the center front and back seams

but i don't really mind the seams

since the pattern is quite bussy 

..

i used french seams (except for the waist 

where i sewed a regular seam, with elastic added to it)

..

not much to say about the dress

it's a  really easy one to make

no zippers, no lining, no facings..

also, it's my first ever mullet skirt

and i really like the way it looks

so might give it a go again

(maybe make a shorter version)

top - self made

pants - self made

sandals - second hand

i'm on vacation for almost a month now

traveling through herzegovina and southern croatia

(gonna write a post about the trip, once i'm back home)

and my nikon broke right before the trip

so 10 years old olimpus point and shoot had to take the lead

..

made bunch of casual comfy clothes for the trip

there was lot of camping involved, so it's all just really simple stuff

racer back tops and jersey shorts

that kind of thing..

and one dress, just in case we get to go somewhere fancy

..

 made another pair of my favorite pants for the trip

(burda magazine 7/2011, mod 102

previous versions here and here)

this time in super light and wrinkle free fabric

some sort of man-made fabric, but comfy and soft nonetheless

..

not much to say about the top 

(or tops, since i've made 3 using the same burda pattern)

it's so simple and fast make

and although it doesn't look like much

i wore it a bunch, and it's one of my favorite tops to date
