Hollywood Sewalong Challenge - The Notebook Part 3 - The Big Reveal

Here's the finally reveal!  I wish you could 

hear the drum playing ta da!

I just love my new red polka dot dress inspired by the movie, 

" The Notebook." 

Because it was really hard to take pictures of 

me wearing the dress,    

 I had to take the dress off to capture 

some of the details of the dress!  You won't 

be getting any of those pictures... 

just kidding!  I didn't take any!

I used a cotton fabric with a low count of polyester!  

This keeps the dress casual and I felt like I could 

wear it more often. Even dress it up if I wanted too!

This dress has details from the 1940's. 

The pattern I used was 

McCall's 8181

Hollywood Sewalong - The Notebook Part 2

 

After watching the movie several times and wiping away my tears, I had to concentrate on the fashion of the 1940's from this great movie, #The Notebook.   I'm taking part on this Sewalong and I was inspired my the pretty colors of blues, bright greens, purples, and great reds!  Even the black and white popped out at me!

When I went shopping for fabric, I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to make.  Only that it was either going to be a skirt and blouse or a dress.  As I walked down the rows of fabric, I came across some beautiful fabric.  It was so hard to decide, I became confused and decided just to go home with nothing in my hands.

That night I watched the movie again and I just fell in 

love with this scene.

So the next day I went out to shop for fabric.  

This time I knew what I was looking for!   

Red and white polkadot

 fabric and I found it!!!! My goal is to 

finish the dress

 by May 2nd, my birthday,  

that way I can wear it on 

the 3rd of May (date night)!

 Please come visit me again for the 

The Big Reveal, May 5th, 2014!
