I was inspired by Melissa of Tiny Happy, who I read nearly daily. She posted about a dress she'd made recently & mentioned liking the pattern (New Look 6725). Coincidentally, the style was just about what I was looking to create with the crazy floral bedsheet. I wanted something late 60s, maybe mod, comfy & loose for the summer.
I hadn't made anything with a commercial pattern in years--I usually just make things up as I go along, basing my garments on another item of clothing that I like the fit of. So it was refreshing to have exact pattern pieces & instructions.
The other thing I made recently was a t-shirt for my friend Raine. We were looking through my cache of XL t-shirts (from Village de Valeurs, where else?) to find one to rework for her. She loves purple & had been looking for a new purple top. Voila: a lovely eggplanty colour & it had 'Vancouver' on it as well!
