My love affair with M6102 continues:
My most recent version is this double sided knit that I found at Joann's:
I used the stripes for the dress and the polka dot side for the neck binding which I thought added some nice contrast:
The back side has a deeper cut which I copied from a dress that I purchased from Land's End. I just loved how it looked and on a hot day that deeper cut in the back sure can make a difference! I think I need to add a shoulder bra strap holder to keep the shoulders from slipping.
You can see how I finished the neck with a more traditional binding. I just like the look and feel of this method so much better.
My serger wasn't working too well the day I did this but I just didn't want to take the time to work on the tension. I just wanted to get this dress done!
I have one more piece that I want to make using this pattern and then I might be done until next spring!
Fall is just around the corner so I am trying to transition into what I'll be making for the new season. So many great new patterns!
