Sew Over It; Heather Dress #2

See I told you, after sewing Heather Dress #1 , here is Heather Dress #2. This time I used a sweater knit fabric. It is so warm, comfortable and soft. Great for the wintery weather we are having in the south this year. Also, the pockets seem to perform better in this fabric choice. Here is a close up of the pocket! I again had a little extra fabric. So I made a knit pencil skirt. I just used a pencil skirt that I had in my closet as a pattern. Yay, I love getting a little extra fabric for one more design. This stretches my fabric wardrobe budget. Piecing everything together can be fun and give you the boost you need to start sewing! I love how easily this dress comes together. It looks professional but at the same time feels great. I can teach music and move around and look great all at the same time. Save Save
