Hello All! It’s throw back Thursday! Guess what….I’m going to see Beyonce and Jay-Z in concert for the first time this weekend! What are you getting into this weekend?
This is Vogue 9111. Now if I was shopping for patterns and I ran across this one, I would have left it in the store! The pattern picture is not flattering at all, however Mimi G made it amazing! This was the August Michael Levine collaboration that she modified into a mini dress. You can wear this as a sexy dress (with or without tights) or add some leggings or jeans to wear it as a top.
This is a very easy project that you can get done in 2 hours. I love video tutorials because I am a visual person and Mimi G delivers every time! You can view the video here. I had to do some maneuvering with the sleeves because I was not able to lay the sleeve piece out and cut it in the traditional way. I had to cut 1 sleeve on the fold and then cut 2 pieces for the other sleeve. I was determined to use this sweater knit for this project!
If I decide to make this as a dress again, I will add a few inches to the hip area and make it about 2 inches longer. I’m shy! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and happy sewing!
