Apple Tart



The weather has been ridiculously beautiful in the Bay Area.  Even though it felt a bit silly making a cotton summer dress at this time of year, it turned out to be weather appropriate with the addition of a lightweight cardigan.  Who could have guessed?!



All in all, a very successful and “free” project (Spring cleaning at its best!).  I even had a teal invisible zipper on hand that worked with the print . . . weird, since I never seem to have a simple black zipper when I need one!



The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and I am feeling the need to re-organize the sewing room.  Although, the urge usually strikes late at night . . . I wish I would feel motivated during the daylight hours.  But I should probably finish a couple of in-progress garments first.



I think I may have to try making more wearable muslins in the future . . .



Dress:  Made by me, Colette’s “Parfait
Cardigan:  Banana Republic
Shoes:  Miz Mooz 
Necklace & Earrings:  Farmer’s Market

  3. Love it! After your last post I had a look at the pattern (I love the bust treatment) and the photos on their website are really uninspiring! I would never have bought it without seeing this version!!!

  10. I really love the fabric you used here and the ribbon around the bottom looks so sweet! Also, I wouldn't call it a wearable muslin as the fit looks too good for that!

  11. This dress is absolutely adorable, and I would be proud if this were my final product, not just a muslin. I absolutely looove your take on patterns, and your blog in general.
