B5758 | Ombre Racerback Dress

Happy Fri-yay!!

I hope you've had a productive week, and great sewing plans for the weekend!

I'm sure there'll be a lot of fabric sales with the holiday approaching and I've been trying hard not to purchase fabric lately.  I've put myself on a fabric diet,

and I haven't made not one purchase this year! (yay me!🙌)

But, sometimes I feel myself slipping tho......

I'm trying to work down my stash, (but its calling me...📣) and I found this really nice
tye-dyish spandexy type knit in the closet!

Unfortunately, I had less than 2 yards, so not enough for a maxi, but just 

enough to squeeze out this OOP  racerback dress!  As you can see, not quite enough

 to pattern match my side seams, but ehh.

The bodice is self lined and came together pretty easily, but the instructions for
 attaching the racerback  at the neck portion was very confusing. so of course I had to improvise and get her done. The skirt portion is fine, with pleats in the front and back but could've been fuller,
bonus if it had pockets, double bonus if I had more yards!! 😝
She's cute tho!

I'm happy, because this print makes me happy, and it's just in time for the southern
 heat that's once again upon us!

How's your stash looking, or do you sew as you purchase?

What's a stash?

C-ya!!!
