On a raison de dire que la couture est une forme de therapie. Vendredi [8 juin], j'ai recu une nouvelle terrible: une copine du lycee etait en soins intensifs et risquait d'y passer.
Ca m'a bouleversee. J'ai exorcise tout ca en me cousant une petite robe toute bleue.
Le modele de base vient du Burda Petite E842 modele 820. J'ai modifie la jupe pour la rendre plus evasee.
Et, surtout, j'ai ajoute un double volant forme a l'encolure en suivant les conseils du livre The Art of Manipulating Fabric de Colette Wolff:
Le tissu est un ecossais cloque bleu, 100% coton de chez Vogue Fabrics. Une premiere: j'ai fait l'ourlet des volants et de la robe avec ma surjeteuse.
La saison des cyclones ayant commence, le temps est couvert et donc la lumiere est tres blanche dans la cour.
Vous remarquerez les murales thematique Lucky Luke de la maison, un ancien jardin d'enfants.
C'est ma cousine Paula, je crois (photos 2 et 3). Et les Dalton sont dans les bananiers (photo 1).
Blue skies smiling at me
Sewing is truly a forme of therapy, as they say. Last Friday [June 8th], I got some really bad news. A high school friend was in intensive care and might not survive.
I was really upset. To get through it, I decided to sew myself a little blue sundress.
The base pattern is Burda Petite E842 #820. I altered the skirt to make it flare more.
But, above all, I added a double circular flounce to the neckline, following the advice in The Art of Manipulating Fabric de Colette Wolff:
The fabric is a 100% cotton plaid seersucker from Vogue Fabrics. A first: I did the narrow hem on both the flounces and the hemline with my serger.
The light is very white in the pix because Hurrican Season has started and the day was overcast.
You'll notice the Lucky Luke murals in the yard. The house used to be a kindergarten.
This is my Cousin Paula, I think (pix 2+3). The Daltons are in the banana trees (pic 1)

This is adorable! I love the blue plaid and the ruffles are too cute.
Very, very pretty, love that flounce:-)
great idea with the ruffles!
I hope all goes well for your friend. This was a great way to deal with the stress of the news. I'll have to try sewing the next time I feel down or upset....
