Vogue 9197- The Corrected Muslin
Hi! I just want to share the original corrected muslin of Vogue 9197. I probably should have shared this before the princess seamed version (eye roll) but it’s OK, better late then never. Actually, I noticed I only showed pictures of the issues and never the full dress. In this post, I talked about the issues I had when trying to get this fit on the this version (side dart). Like the princess seamed version, the bodice is a little short but good for the dress. I believe the fit is very good and the adjustments made are in this post. The only difference between the other versions of this…

Ankara and Vogue 9197

Here’s the issue, I do not like to take out seams and fix issues (insert triple eye roll) so I have to remind myself that true muslins are really practice so I don’t mind fixing them. I have to stop being lazy and take out the seams and fix things,…

Pattern Review: V9197 + Floral dress
I feel like a sewing maniac! I’ve tried to complete one garment a week and get me a few things for spring sewn up, I have spring fever! Florals are always appropriate for this time of year so when browsing the web for fabric, I tend to look for florals and nice bold colors and prints. I’m also going to a brunch in early April and I wanted something really pretty to wear that I made. I’ve trying a few patterns and I’m not in love with any of the one’s I’ve tried. I will need to pick something soon because I don’t want to wait until the last minute.…
