Make this look - Verily Cowl Neck Dress

I just may have picked up this pattern on the weekend. Vogue patterns were on sale and I couldn't resist!  This pattern was awarded one of the best patterns of 2011 by PatternReview.com and has a long list of great reviews. Some versions included added sleeves and a tunic or blouse version.  I think this will be an easy to sew, easy to wear dress and I love the Verily ready-to-wear version in a black and white print. Some style with a belt and a jacket. Another DKNY basic I look forward to adding to my wardrobe.

Burda boy shorts 9793

 


I've made Burda shorts 9793 a couple of times so far in my lifetime. It is a great boy short and easy to sew up. I highly recommend it. Some of the pattern reviews say the front pocket is too small but I think it is more for looks than for purpose.

This version uses fabric gifted to me by friends. The red fabric has been my stash for ages, just waiting for the right opportunity.
