Just like Project Run and Play, Project Sewn has a sew a long group and the first weeks challenge is all about The Little Black Dress.
The fabric that I used was a medium weight knit of sorts. It has a lot of stretch to it and I’m not sure which it is but it has either lycra or spandex in it. The wrong side of the fabric is smooth and the right side of the fabric has a nice woven look to it. I really wish I knew exactly what type of fabric it was because I would buy more for sure. It is the most comfortable material I have ever worn! It was a little hard to work with though. Super stretching and smooth. It definitely challenged my top stitching skills.
The pattern was for a loose fitting dress so I had to do a lot of altering. This type of fabric just looks better as a more structured fitting dress.
I did shorten the capped sleeves and made the dress fall about mid-calf. Now head on over to Project Sewn to see what the competitors made. They are all simply amazing!
