Butterick B5953 … finished
By ohsewdarling on April 10, 2014After all of the indecision over the buttons, I settled for some plain black ones! So here’s a photo of the dress finished and the nice little godet on the back. I would have used a plain black fabric but I didn’t have enough leftovers so houndstooth it is 🙂

Butterick B5953
By ohsewdarling on April 6, 2014Hi guys!
I fell in love with this pattern as soon as I clapped eyes on it! I finally got round to sewing it last night, im still deciding on buttons (it’s always a big decision for me) so it’s not completely finished yet.
I had to do quite a bit of adjusting on the pattern because im pretty short. I chose a torquoise and black houndstooth and a plain black trim. Theres a godet in the back centre seam, which I also did in the houndstooth.
Anyway heres a quick photo and I’ll post one of me wearing the dress once I’ve put the buttons on. Im really pleased with how it turned out 🙂
Hi Everyone!
I was another lucky soul who got to test the Sewaholic Cambie dresses. A few pics:
I made the A-line version to make something office appropriate. I used what feels like a wool/poly blend that is of medium weight with a nice hand. It’s lined with gray cotton voile and I used satin (probably poly) to make the straps. It helps break up the tiny houndstooth pattern of my main fabric don’t you think?
More pics of the inside and more info over at my blog: Kitty’s Drawings
It’s not vintage – but definitely vintage inspired!
