The pattern came together easily. I tried not to get too hung up on pattern placement, choosing to try to keep things even and on grain, but not centered.
To maintain shaping without distorting the spots, I added to darts along the back.
I really like this dress. It's perfect for work, even though I haven't worn it yet. I'm still locked out of my sewing room, so am almost exclusively wearing knit garments while I don't have an iron.
Cost:
Pattern: New Look 6145, used before = Free
Fabric: 1m double knit from Pitt Trading = $5
Thread from stash
Total: $5!! About time I made a truly cost effective garment!
It looks great, I do love a good spot!
ReplyDeleteI think they should rename the pattern Little Betty 6145 as you own it! Love this spotty version.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Go for #6!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great - and what a bargain.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great on you and no one knows but us knows that it is one of a number!
ReplyDeleteAnother great outfit Christy. I have some jumbo sized polka dot ponti that I've been looking for a pattern that wouldn't disturb the print too much, and this could be it. All your versions of this are so different looking, you surely can't be sick of it yet?!
ReplyDeleteNot at all boring, They look fab on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually holding back on making another ponte top with this pattern. They are just so easy to wear. It almost feels criminal how easy they are to make.
ReplyDeleteGrrr another great knit fabric purchase, I was only there a few weeks ago bummed I missed seeing ths fabric. Such a great dress for work, no last minute ironing. Fantastic make!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic on you. I can see why you have made so many things from this pattern. I'm going to have to get the tips on where to prchase fabric from. We are Sydney bound next year.
