Pattern: Ready to Sew Jolene with expansion pack
Fabric: Rifle Paper Co Rayon From Cross and Woods
🎶🍓Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Joleeeeneeee. I finally finished my first Jolene dress #jolenereadytosew in this glorious @riflepaperco rayon. Although the fabric is a bit too light for the pattern, it worked out fine with some alterations (took in the waist a bit). I love how swooshy it is! And even though I’m never much of a fan of gathered waistlines without elastics because of my bust, this really does work pretty well! I did do a FBA, Raphaëlle made a great post about that on the blog.🍓🎶 • 💥Speaking of that blog (https://readytosew.fr/en/journal) please have a moment and read “Sharing my research and methods: Towards more inclusivity in pattern making”
It’s very worth the read. 💥
