after making the pea coat, this dress came so much easier. it only took me like 2 hours to finish. made of poly mix stretch knit i found from jomar the other day. it was only $1 a yard!
although its cheap, i love the fabric.. its so soft and i like the color a lot. i modify this dress a bit to make it.

new patterns!!
i just got new patterns today… i love them all! this vintage pattern comes from Dazzy2 from etsy. the pattern was so reasonable and i love this retro look.
my friend, nadia got me these burda mags from ukraine. im so excited! she has her etsy shop also. she doesnt update it much, but she paints beautifully…
i want to make these from burda mags..
pea coat complete!
finally! after hours and hours of sewing, i completed the pea coat.
it was a lot of work…. i dont want to make coats with lining for a while.. i should stick with making dresses. they are so much easier and faster and fun!
this is made of corduroy, with cotton lining around bodice and polyester lining around arms. at first, i was going to just use the cotton fabric for the entire lining, but decided to use polyester thin fabric around arms. i think i made a right decision, since its so much easier to put on and take off since the fabric slips well.
the unfortunate thing is that i found one of the buttons chipping a bit. it’s a tiny bit chip, but certainly a turn-off! so when i posted it to Etsy, i marked it down and warn them about the chipping 🙁
Karencilla, thanks for your comment! i will respond to the tag soon:)
