M7566 Ankara Print Maxi Dress

Hey Y’all! I know its been awhile since a did a blog post. I have been super busy! I have at least 4 pieces finished that I have been wearing and have not photographed. Yikes!

So, I have taken on the task of becoming a better dress maker. Sewing dresses for myself is not one of my sewing super powers.

M7505 Bell Sleeve Dress

2017 is the year of the sleeves. This is a trend that I don’t see ending for awhile. I might have one or two more sleeve projects to complete before I am done with them.

I picked up this pattern last fall from Joann, a Nicole Miller pattern, M7505. It is described as a semi-fitted dress at the bust. I picked up some denim chambray fabric and immediately cut out the pattern. Then I put it down until last week.
