As always it\u2019s been great to see what everyone has been making with the Lisette sewing patterns for Butterick<\/a>. Sarah\u2019s creation<\/a> caught my eye when I was browsing through the SewLisette Flickr pool<\/a> recently. She\u2019s here now to share details about her cute fit-and-flare dress that sewed for herself.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Lisette<\/a><\/p>\n

Name:<\/strong> Sarah Anderson
\nWhere can we find you on the internet?<\/strong> Blog<\/a>, Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n

Project details<\/strong>
\nPattern:<\/strong> Lisette B6168<\/a>
\nFabric:<\/strong> Weavers cloth underlined with batiste
\n
\nDid the fabric work well?<\/strong> Yes very well! I hadn’t planned on underlining it but the fabric was too sheer and I knew I wouldn’t wear a slip (too hot in summer) so I decided to underline it. And I am so glad that I did.<\/p>\n

How did the sewing go?<\/strong> I cut a 12 because my mom made the 14 and when I tried it on I could slip it on over my head. I usually cut a 12 but I still have a few pounds of baby weight left to loose from my pregnancy last year. But the 12 was too small! I was so upset! So I had to leave out the back darts and let out the side seams a bit. And then it fit beautifully! I was really aiming for a fitted bodice.<\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong> I had this vision of this white dress to be worn at the end of summer. I thought it would look great against my tanned skin and with my dark hair. Halfway through I worried it was going to look like one of those old fashioned nurse uniforms. It wasn’t until I hemmed it did I know that the dress turned out like I envisioned and that it didn’t look like a nurse’s uniform. So the best part of it was the end result! I find my best sewing comes when I have strong vision of the garment I want to sew.
