Heidi, from Elegance and Elephants, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
*******************************************************************************************
Choosing Straightgrain‘s Tinny pattern as my selection for ‘Flip this Pattern’ was easy. What wasn’t as easy, was how to ‘flip’ a dress already so wonderfully designed with so many options already included with the pattern? It quickly became clear to me that I needed to make it a different type of garment altogether, and ‘flip’ it front to back. In the end, my Tinny dress, became a Tinny jacket…
Here are the changes I made to the Tinny Dress pattern:
- Cut back bodice on fold
- Cut 2 front bodices and increased width by 1.5 inches/4cm
- Cut Peter Pan Collar on the fold
- Lengthened the sleeves
- Shortened skirt, cut front skirt in 2
- Added bodice and sleeve linings
- French seams on skirt side seams
Fabric: Cotton Twill (outer fabric), Quilter’s Cotton (lining), Black Velvet (collar, cuffs)
Thank you so much for including me in this awesome series, Emily & Ashley! And thank you, An, for such a great pattern!
*******************************************************
“Flip this Pattern” voting will begin tomorrow, August 23 and run through Sunday, August 25.
And, in the meantime, link up your “Flipped Pattern”
{there are only a few hours left….the linky party ends tonight at 11:00 PM CST}
