I guess you could officially call this one a "save", since I drew it from a pile of lost souls, aka UFP- Unfinished projects, just in time to cut the pleated/gathered side seams off and slim the dress down to my waist size, stitch the hems and get out the door for our family Christmas Party. I was intending to make a cute dress with that buffalo plaid you see around my neck, but I just plumb ran out of time.

The length turned out just perfectly for the look I was hoping for, since I had wanted a red column dress for a while now. The sleeves are the perfect length for any occasion.
Construction Details:
Pattern: Self Drafted from my dress block, sold here.
Fabric: Torch Red Rayon Knit Matte Jersey from Sew Much Fabric.
Finishing: I finally decided to use my cover-stitch machine to hem my knits. What took me so long, I have no clue. I think we become so set in our ways, that the thought of learning something new scares us. Well, at I think that's the case for me.
The infinity scarf was made from a rayon poplin that I got from my local fabric store, High Fashion. I used this fabric to make three other dresses for the family's buffalo plaid themed holiday party. More details to follow on my regularly scheduled Sewturday Night Live WebCast.
