Thankfully, I had endured the process of pattern tracing, toile contruction, and pattern tweaking already, I had pattern pieces in a size 6 ready to go! But, definitely check out this post if you want more of a step by step walkthrough. Equipment: water soluble pen, chalk wheel, and rotary cutterīecause I’ve gone through the construction of a Liz before, I’m not going to go through each step in painstaking detail here.Coats & Clark all purpose 18” white zipper.Flatback rhinestones in SS16 in light pink + settings.1.5 yard of Kona Cotton in Niagara for the contrasting bust + bolero.5 yards of Hopscotch Gingham Cotton Elastane Sateen in blue, by Gertie from Spotlight.Bolero Pattern: The Dorothy Bolero by Charm Patterns.Dress Pattern: The Liz Dress by Charm Patterns.To recreate this dress & bolero set, you will need: Although I have had the Dorothy Bolero in my pattern stash for awhile, I’d never given it a whirl before. I decided to use the border print along the hem and the straps, and go with a contrasting bust (I found a Kona Cotton that pretty much watched the blue hem perfectly).īecause I’m always a girl who likes to upskill, I also decided to try my hand at a matching, reversible bolero to match the dress.

Although those bust cups can be vexing, I had made it before and knew how to avoid the common missteps. I so wish (sew wish?) Spotlight would start sending things internationally one of these days, cause I know several Stateside ladies who were similarly salivating over this one….Īs is every sewists struggle: what do we make with it? After hemming and hawing over my pattern stash, I decided to go with one of the most beautiful dresses I had ever made: The Liz Dress. It really didn’t disappoint: it’s a super saturated print and the fabric has a slight stretch to it, which is fabulous for making a fitted bodice. Like I said, love at first sight.īecause Spotlight doesn’t ship to the US (bugger it!), one of my very best friends kindly shipped it to me all the way from Aus and into my sewing-obsessed arms (both the green and blue color way!). A beautiful azure blue backdrop in a wide checked gingham, with roses scattered throughout and a thick border print of larger roses, ending in a solid band of blue. To be fair, the blue color way was the first I had seen and the one that made me fall in love.

The tricky part: which color to choose?īecause you have all pretty much moved into my sewing room this past year, I’m sure we can all say it together, “Why choose just one?” Don’t be surprised if this fabric pops into your IG feeds and inboxes on a make (or three), because there was no way to choose just one color way…. As someone who is all about the clash of geometrics and florals, with a particular penchant for border prints, it should come as no surprise that Gertie’s latest Hopscotch Gingham in cotton sateen would steal my heart. There are certain kinds of fabric that just call to you.
