Most everyone who has this pattern has sewn the top first (and they have loved it),
but I went with the skirt.

 

It did confuse me when it came to the wingy-things and the pocket, but just play around with it and look at the drawings and it will come together, don't ask how!

The fabric is from the cheap table this season at S.R. Harris in Burnsville if you want to snap
some up!

Here is a dress I went ahead and cut out even though it was supposed to be spring. As you can see I got to wear it.

 Pictures not so good, but the top has an under blouse and a wrap front. This pattern fits well and is very comfortable.

 I don't know why they had a zipper in the back, you certainly don't need it. Snow update...it's all gone yeah!

 I do like this pattern, It was fun to sew because it was different from most others, and the fit is good

 There is another pattern in my stash that is almost identical, except it wraps in the back as well as the front. I plan to use this as a summer dress pattern without the sleeves.

I was planning on putting all my cut out winter items away, but we just got a blizzard yesterday so I decided to keep on sewing and hold off on sewing the summer dresses, bummer! It was also my birthday and I got a few phone calls asking what fun things I was going to do, not much fun to be had when a blizzard is raging. Did I say I hate snow and cold?

Another dress that is just okay. I used a knit as the pattern specifies, but I think it would be better in a woven fabric with more body, and a zipper added.

I did not want a seam down the front, so I cut a facing and that worked out quite well.

This one went bye-bye. Just couldn't make it work, hope someone else can wear it.

Butterick 8861

Just one picture of this. This is a franken-pattern of Butterick 8861 and a plain skirt pattern. This was the wrong fabric for the top of the pattern because it had bust pleats and they just sagged in this fabric...sagging and bust, not good together! I sewed the pleats together and at least it is wearable.
I also had to add elastic to the waist and add a self-fabric belt. Not my best endeavor.
