birdies

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)
