Black velvet dress

A dress I made from 2 skirts and a poorly fitting jacket. The bodice is my own pattern. The skirt is just gathered and attached.

Laura Dress

Here it is: my alteration of the laura dress pattern for the burdastyle (Nikki Shell's) sew-a-long this fall. I filled in the collar line on the back and the front, omitted the pockets, waistband and buttons. I also added a ruffle onto the bodice front that looks rather like an off kilter bow.

Black and White ruffled Anda Dress

This is from a sew-a-long that I did this Summer on Burdastyle using the Anda pattern.

A dress of squares

My sister took these photographs of me in the McHenry house.

I designed this dress using some basic measurements and a series of squares.
