Start sewing this morning on my new Janome and all is going well, I put the pinned together skirt section on Mimi (my dress form) and was pleased with the way the skirt looked. I don't think I'll do much more today, sitting down for 15 minutes at a time is enough for my legs.

@SkoutSews  I have made two of the fitted straight skirted versions, one in royal blue ponte and the other with purple bodice and long sleeves and black skirt also in ponte way back in November 2018. This is the first time with a full skirt.

I have made a start, I cut out the four skirt pieces with suitable breaks including one to pick up the contents of my pins container. Thank goodness for the magnet on my picker upper. There is a lot of fabric in that skirt, I'll cut out the bodice pieces later when I've rested my legs and had some lunch.

I took  a chance and ordered the paisley ponte and am pleased with the fabric. Delivery was prompt, their website isn't particularly user friendly but they have some lovely curtain fabrics as well as dressmaking and craft fabrics. I'll be adding them to my preferred sites.

Just received this paisley jacquard ponte for a full skirted dress using Vogue 9202 view B  but with long sleeves. I'll make it a bit longer too.

I wanted something different @SkoutSews. I have a lot of fit and flare panelled skirts but wanted s fuller skirt without the gathering at the waist, I have a couple of skirts with a yoke and a circular skirt so this style made a change.

Very smart and looks comfy to wear, I had to look up pique jersey. I remember white cotton pique collars on my school summer uniform dresses.

Thanks everyone. It is so light and cool to wear and feels like silk not cotton.
