DIY Couture dress, Kwik Sew skirt 3744 pattern and the end of term happenings...

I love summer sewing, the girls all break out in color and the dress and skirt patterns get taken out.
The two patterns that end up being the easiest to work through the term and allows scope for making it different is the DIY couture dress pattern booklet and the Kwik Sew 3744 Skirt pattern . easy to sew up and while there are variations to make this shape, the dress and skirt are really is quite easy and satisfying for the students to make up. 

This was made by a student who used a lovely bird printed knit for the body and woven cotton for the upper gathered bit. 

There are a few more in the making and the girls want them finished before the pictures are taken. I will  post on completion! 
And  this one which I made in under an hour to wear on a hot sunny day. Sorry for the grainy picture quality...



Kwik sew Skirt 3744
Made up into...
 This was a variation made up into a skirt. made up by one of my youngest students, The picture is not the best but she had a lovely contrast pocket with trim!  

Nothing like a bit of twirling to celebrate a great make!

There are two competitions happening next week and I look forward to posting the new make pictures next week. Meanwhile lots going on with the sewing kits that I am working on and that have finally made it to sale. available on the tab at the top of this site, under sewing kits... Have a great week.
