Crepe - planning.


Ever since this pattern (Crepe - by Collette Patterns) came out, I have drooled over it. I've added it to the shopping cart, and then decided against it, at least three times. It's always just been a liiiiittle bit too expensive to justify.
But, with the exchange rate at an all time low (or is it a high? I'm not good with these things), the temptation was just too much. I snapped it up and it arrived super speedily.
The only problem now is the fact that I have a million other things to be sewing, and it will have to wait until next month. Argh, patience is not my strong point, I just want to get going right now!


I plan to make the first one (because I need to make at least three to make it worthwhile. Ha!) out of this pinkish floral. I don't LOVE it, but I have enough of it. This seems to be the issue with the Crepe, the yardage is out of this world.
I hope to make the next two out of the other, more amazing, fabrics. I will probably have to make the facings out of something matching, or might even just make the whole dress reversible.. the possibilities are endless! Excited! This will be the first thing I've made with a bought pattern in years!

Do you sew with patterns often?
