My Most Recent Creation

I have a favorite pattern designer. Her name is Carla C. She is also known as "The Scientific Seamstress". She is linked in the side bar because I can't figure out how to link here.

She really knows how to bring out the best seamstress in me. Her designs are very straightforward and detailed. They are exactly what I need to create designs that not only help me create cute things, but also really help me to grow as a seamstress and step outside the box to create things I never imagined possible.

Last week Carla asked me to be a part of a group of fabulous seamstresses and one tailor to test a new pattern that she was writing. The new pattern debuted at http://www.youcanmakethis.com/ on Monday. Here are a few of my thoughts regarding the pattern:

"Carla has done it again! This time she has created the quintessential girlie dress! This is the dress that I have longed to make for my daughter since I began sewing again almost two years ago. Yet the idea of a puffy sleeves and a back closure have caused me pause from attempting this style of dress. I knew that with Carla C's instructions, I could make the dress of my longing for my daughter. Her always clear, highly definitive directions left no room for error on my part. Carla guides the creator through each and every step! From creating the perfect peter pan style collar, to making the perfect puffy sleeve, it's all included! But if it is a simpler style with no collar and/or no sleeves, you're given the same attention to detail with instructions that will create the perfect dress that you have envisioned. It just doesn't get any better than this! I'll be sewing this dress up over, and over, and over again! Thanks so much, Carla for a PRECIOUS DRESS!"
