Client #2 Dress

I've been commissioned to make a simple knit dress, with gathering at the neckline/waistline, a waistband between the top and the skirt with clean simple lines. After receiving the clients measurements, I used an existing pattern to create the top. Well, I changed the existing pattern, but it gave me a start at the correct shape. Then, I made the skirt pattern simply from her measurements.

I'm making a muslin, and since the fashion fabric is knit, I need to make the muslin in knit. I have some, again mostly acquired from Mystery Boxes or Fabric Bundles from Fabric Mart. Most of what I receive from them are awesome fabrics I can use, but there is the occasional clunker. This is one of them. I asked my client if she could separate the ugly fabric from the fit, and she said it was no problem. So, I have the pattern made, the muslin cut out. It won't take so long to sew it up, I do hope to mail it tomorrow.

Well, now you see what i mean by ugly fabric. It's also got marks on it, like it's been soiled by the machinery. I've washed it, but they didn't come out. So, it's not good for much other than a muslin.

More later, after I get to sewing!
