Today I feel like actually doing something sewing related. I am using a pattern from my stash that I have not tried before.

From Butterick Patterns Website |
I am making the short sleeve dress, not shown above. This is
Butterick 6207. I purchased a xs-m size because my upper chest/shoulder area needs this size, my bust needs large, so I made a FBA. I did not want a dart for this dress, so I used this
technique from Maria Denmark. I always get a little nervous when trying a new technique, especially one that creates a lot of changes due to cutting, enlarging and reducing. The paper pattern ends up looking way different than the original. Hopefully this will all work out.
The fabric is actually a fairly recent purchase. It is from Cali Fabrics, purchased this past December.
I just finished cutting out the fabric today and getting ready to thread serger, sewing machine and most likely will use the cover stitch machine for hemming. More later.
