Upton dress



Besides on the Vivie, I also did a re-test for the Upton from Blaverry. The Upton is a jersey dress with a color blocked front and a back pleat on the back. Both the split front and back pleated back are perfect to experiment with different fabrics. Due to the pleat the dress is very roomy and has a high playability and the dress sews up very quick.



I bought the main fabric over a year ago at Stoffenelf. It was in the period that I totally went for animal photo prints. I had stayed away from them for a while, but then finally did fall head over heals. As can be expected, I kind of jumped on the next fabric trend, and this cute fabric just stayed on my pile. I think the colors are perfect for fall, and I really love how it looks with the mustard yellow.




She wore the dress to a baptism and we made pictures in front of the church, and my youngest photo bombed the shoot a bit. Seeing all of us where dressed well, we even made group picture to replace the one on my husband's desk at work. In the current one, our youngest was just born, so we really needed a new one. This is not the picture that will decorate his desk, but the one that shows off the Upton dress best.



I love to hear what you think of my creations. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).

Vivie dress from Blaverry



A few weeks ago I was part of the re-launch testing of the Vivie dress from Blaverry. The Vivie is a button up dress that was just screaming gingham fabric to me. I bought the fabric three years ago at the beginning of my sewing career. I feel this pattern and the fabric are a perfect match. Even my girl totally went into schoolgirl mode while posting.



The updated Vivie now has sleeves, but seeing as I sewed dress at the beginning of the summer, I went for sleeveless. This dress will be a perfect fall dress as well, it can either be worn with a shirt under it, or a cardigan. I decided to go for a random combination of blue buttons, which might have been induced by the fact that I did not have enough of one color, I really like the effect though.



The pictures were already taken in June, I just never found a moment to blog about this dress until now. The cornflower, poppy, white flower scenery stole my heart last year. I made both pictures at very different spots, so apparently the combi is often observed in the Netherlands. Both are weeds, but they do match the colors of our flag as well.



Short blog post this time. I still have to start my Project Run and Play entry, so let's get on it ;)
