evil eye

dress - self made
last year my virtual kalkatroonian sister and i exchanged boxes full of goodies there were dresses and fabrics inside my box and then, there was this chiffon with evil eye print whole 5 meters of it! i loved all of the prizes from that magic box but with this chiffon i got obsessed! it has to be made into something really special something i'll love more than my other makes .. so i waited and waited for the right pattern to show up and there it was, in december issue of burda 2013 .. don't remember ever being so excited about sewing project or so obsessed all of the bodice parts are lined in self fabric so all the pieces has to be cut twice but look like only one layer when basted together (meaning print has to match precisely not an easy thing with such fidgety fabric) .. and, since i got so obsessed, when i started to feel tired instead of going to bed i couldn't stop working on dress it has to be finished! so, around 2 am when it was finally done (all seams serged) i tried it on and realized that i managed to sew one of the sleeves inside out and now the pattern direction is totally off (funny thing is, that i marked the 'right' sides of the sleeves to prevent this disaster since the fabric looks the same on both sides and since i marked them i felt there is no need to double-check is everything ok) .. anyways mistakes or not this is still my favorite make ever! .. mokosha
