In addition to having a good mail day last week, I also received a package in the mail from my Spring Sewing Swap partner Sue, who writes the blog Sewin’ Steady. I think I literally shrieked out loud when I opened the box – the Sewaholic Lonsdale dress pattern!! I love the simple shaping of the dress and how the straps tie in a bow in the back. It’s the perfect summer dress pattern! Now just to find three yards of fabric for it…
Sue threw in some cute buttons and vintage snaps. Isn’t the packaging for vintage notions so much more fun and interesting than our modern day packaging?
The fabric Sue included was also a fantastic surprise. The above stripey fabric is a knit similar to what Andrea used for her SOS challenge earlier this spring, and the green fabric is a heavy woven that I’m not sure how to use, maybe as a blazer or something. I have plans to make a simple racer-back tank dress from the stripey knit.
Thank you so much, Sue, for the wonderful sewing swap! I hope you enjoyed your package as much as I did putting it together 🙂
Love the color on that green fabric, especially with the black and white stripe. A blazer would be super cute!
Glad you liked the sewing goodies, Lucinda! 🙂 A blazer or maybe a mini skirt would be good for that green fabric. Can't wait to see what you make!
