I bin and sewed up 2 more of the 14 cut outs...
Style Arc Taylor skirt, fast and easy, and Vogue 1405, Tracy Reese dress. A much slower project, but I love it.

I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

I can take credit for the sewing, the garden is all done by the missus [although we designed it together]
She's a gem!

The red fabric was a rag market find, only £4/m. Looks like Liberty, and feels really nice.

100% random. The non-matchiness is killing the wife, as is the asymmetric seam, she keeps trying to tug it straight!

Sometimes random is better than spending hours trying to match.

Love the
Tracy Reese
and I think you need more dresses in this style. Got to agree with Dawn on the
stripes
issue. My eye is now twitching.
Love the shape, though.

Ohhh I love the red dress! Which pattern is that one? Lovely jersey too.
And I'm might jealous of your garden. I am just trying to do the same thing with pots and not spending money putting plants into my landlord's ground that I won't get back. But I'm so jealous of your garden!

I've just been looking at the photos on your blog and I wasn't sure about the skirt to begin with but the more I see it the more I like it. I don't think those striped were ever mean't to match. The red dress - lovely. Oh yes and while you're here - 3 more Style Arc patterns just happen to have fallen through my letter box - you really are a bad influence

Fabulous dress and great fabric. I love a great jersey. Although this one isn't a Stylearc I am very tempted to try them.too. Are you sure you haven't got shares in Stylearc?
