Brown and blue

This is the fabric I am going to use to make my next Vogue dress.
I purchased this from Textile Studios. The date on the photo is 2007 but I think that I bought this in 2006 and just got around to taking photos in'07. None the less, it is now time to use it as I have pulled it out to make something several times and then did not use it as another item took its place.
Originally I had planned pants, then jacket, then skirt. It is going to be this dress. I have had this pattern laying out for some time and decided that I had the right stripe as used in the dress on the pattern envelope.
I began cutting around the pattern last night so I can do a tissue fitting later today and hopefully move forward on cutting out the dress.

  2. I have that dress pattern too! And it's been laying in my to make pile for some time so I will be watching your progress on this dress to see if there are any tips I can pick up! Hopefully it will bring it to the top of the pile because it is the perfect work dress isn't it?! I can't believe it's OOP already though!!!

  3. Great fabric for a classic dress. Yes, it's too bad it's OOP.
