On the TV the other day was the film seven brides for seven brothers. I have to say I love the costumes.
Especially how patchwork is incorporated into the girls costumes.
Oh and I have soft spot for gingham....but that's for another project.
I initially planned to make something like the one above 'crazy patchwork' and quite long. But I hadn't the time nor enough of the right fabrics.
That's when I came across t
his tutorial on craftster. It would give me the shape and be fairly quick to put together. I went fabric shopping. Found green, red and mustard colourway type fabrics.
Took me 1 evening to prep fabric. Cutting the patches and sewing the strips.
Then a second to sew the strips together and add a waistband.
Threaded the elastic through. Then I had to wait till the next evening to finish hemming...by hand.
I unfortunately didn't have a chance to post the review before the deadline for the competition. It turned out much more A-line which suits a more 40's style...
