I've done 2 test patterns in July. There were no patterns to test for the longest time so I did the first one to meet my monthly requirements.
I am not a great fan of how mine turned out as I was using what I had in the stash.
The 2nd pattern came out just over a week later and I had to make it. I've been waiting for this pattern for quite a while now (months to be exact).
The dress is my new favourite basic dress pattern. I'll use it when I don't want a gathered skirt. The pleats are easy to make and really cute.
I spent a lot of time on the jacket as it was quite detailed to make. Instead of lining it, it had a facing that I did a Hong Kong seam finish on.
The outfit is really cute and I'm pleased with the end result.
With all the clipping of the scallops, I need to sweep the sewing room floor and tidy up my mess. It is back to quilting for the rest of the month.
