Well, I tried, but I just couldn't do it! The Fletcher Pattern Contest that is! I found out about the contest 4 days before the due date and jumped right on it, but.... try as I might, everything that could go wrong, did! LOL!!
I mean everything! I couldn't keep a needle in my hand to save my life! There are more needles on the floor in my workroom then the usual pins! I sewed sleeves on backwards and buttons on upside down! You name it, I screwed it up! I just don't do well under pressure any more!
For those of you who are new to following my Blogs, I have been disabled for the last 7 years after a short illness which robbed me of my cognitive skills and left me in a lot of pain. On a bad day, I can't read and understand simple directions. On a good day,my interpretation is a bit funny! Humor plays a large part of my daily life! But enough about that!
Here is the dress I made for the contest that didn't get entered in time! The theme was Glamour Goth using a Designs by Jude or Fletcher Pattern Company Pattern.
Here is the Contest Link
I already had this pattern in Ellowyne's size, so some resizing was necessary to fit Delilah Noir.`I took a few liberties in redesigning the pattern! lol!
A few changes I made: floor length, closes in the back, separate skirt and top, top is a jacket, added a simple sleeveless top, omitted belt.
Here she is!







Too bad about the contest. Your outift is fabulous! =D
ReplyDeleteHi, Heather! I'm new to the Fletcher group as of yesterday!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I think your outfit for Delilah is fabulous! You really made good use of the pattern, too. I'm amazed at how quickly you made it after just hearing about the contest!!
I love the hat and I hope you will add a photo of Delilah wearing it!
Have you asked Tamara if you can still enter the contest? Might be worth the try!
