Yesterday evening I began making my second Butterick 5638 dress. Having sewn this pattern before and tweaking the pattern based on previous dress experience, I seem to be moving right along. All front pieces and back pieces have been sewn together and dress is attached at shoulders. I basted the side seams and stopped there. So fitting step is next.
I wanted to cut out Vogue 1250 (yes, I got to be of the many who have made this dress). I had made some fitting adjustments to the pattern Saturday AM. I cut out the fabric before stopping to make breakfast for DH and I this morning.
This afternoon I will resume sewing the Butterick dress working on the detail sewing--gathering the front ruffle piece and attaching; adding the front inset piece at center, back binding and inserting sleeves. I decided not to make it sleeveless. Once that is done, hemming is the only thing left to do.
I hope your sewing weekend has been productive. More later with some photos.
