Kick Ass Dress!

Another tale of instant fabric love.  Randomly walking through the fabric store this one just jumps out at me and yells - I need to be a kick ass dress!  Obviously it knew what it wanted out of life.  Who am I to interfere with that??  On top of that I had just found this amazing vintage lace at my favorite crafty store, Garage 34 and I thought the two would get along fabulously (and they do). 

I actually have been working on this one for awhile.  I had to put it away for awhile because we weren't getting along and I needed some space.  But, we've managed to come to an agreement about what should happen with the back so I went ahead and finished it.    I'm going to say I didn't use a pattern on this one.  I think I started out with one but I had to take one whole piece out (What?) and the top was just figured out so, yes, no pattern for this one : )  I have to say I am pretty impressed with this one.  I've not attempted such an open back before and I love love it.  I think I will add something fun to the top part where it connects but it works for now : )

and the back!

 

Finished just in time for my Welcome Back party.  Hello all,  I'm back : )

love love this cheesy girl : )

 

 

 

myfm~strangely enough Valentine's Day by Bruce Springsteen.  I've been working on this biography of Mr. Springsteen that I got at work a few months ago and wanted to check out all of this revolutionary music I was reading about.   He has about a million brilliant tunes. I'll probably introduce you to some more again soon.
