MARCH MAKE!

Hinterlanddress

I finished my Hinterland Dress in March and love it so much.

The fabric is a cotton poplin from Blackbird Fabrics (currently not listed on their site) and continues with my "blue makes" theme for the year.

I made two changes to the pattern. First, I omitted the bust darts because they never look quite right on me. (It's possible I am sewing them wrong? Or the placement is just off? I am not sure.) And I also added three inches to the length. This was my second time through the Hinterland Dress pattern and while I love my first version, I knew a few extra inches (so it hits just below mid-calf) would be a good change. For reference, if you're considering a length alteration, I am 5'3".

And that's it for March! I still have a sock to finish and a second to cast on, but I am taking a break from "garment making goals" for the rest of the spring and summer. I have a HUGE sewing goal for my current project, MAKE36, and I want to be sure my energy is focused there.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.
