My first toile was a bit of a patchwork piece, although, because the pattern on the fabric is so busy, you would hardly notice. This was fabric I had been given and added to my stash, it was not wide, but there was four meters of it. I had to make an abdominal adjustment to the front piece of the pattern.
After adjustments were made to the pattern and the toile I made the dress up, twice, in two vintage fabrics I had on hand:
With the green dress I decided to use different buttons in the same colour range as the fabric. I quite liked the effect.
The second dress was again made out of a vintage fabric:
Amazing how the same pattern can appear different from the choice of fabric.
I enjoyed making this pattern. It quickly came together, I would recommend it to both the skilled or the novice sewer.
Luckily, I did not have to wait very long to wear both dresses as the weather has quickly become hot over here in Australia.
Happy sewing everyone.
