The Lisa Dress

7/28/2020

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first conversation surrounding The Lisa Dress; especially those of you who offered your expertise to the new garment makers in the group. 
To recap, this week we will be:
  • pre-washing the fabric (done!) 
  • cutting the bodice pattern pieces (done!)
  • pin fit (done! And, the pattern sizing appears to be accurate.)
  • stitching the darts (next)
  • sewing the shoulder seams 
  • stay stitching the neckline
If you have additional questions, after watching the chat, please post those in the comments section below or send an email. Everyone is invited to check in on Friday at 3 p.m. MT during our weekly Sew and Tell to share your progress and ask questions. I will be capturing my progress offline and sharing my personal experiences with the group in a series of blog posts here on the Sewing Club page in an effort to document my very first dress making adventure and offer a boost of confidence to all the other novice garment makers who may be waiting on the sidelines. 

"Sew" excited to get started and can hardly wait to see your pretty dresses come together!

We are aiming to finish The Lisa Dress by August 18! Join us then at 9 a.m. MT to see how they turned out. Consider using your fabric remnants to craft a coordinating face mask and necklace to match! 

Sewing success is so sweet! 

Thanks to the help of Dara, Kim, KC, Elaine and Cheryl --- Suzette and I were able to successfully sew our very first dresses. Such a wonderfully supportive community of makers we are building here at the Element3 Health Sewing Club-thank you ladies, I love my new dress!
