Make ALL the Patterns Challenge
Pattern Number 1 - The Disco Dress by Ainslee Fox
I have been admiring this pattern for so long even though I had it I just never got around to making it. I really don't know why, most likely has something to do with the fact I hate the piecing the patterns and tracing off my sizes so I just keep making the same ones over and over.
As my girls already have more clothes than they will ever wear (seriously it is insane how much they have) I decided to make this one in a size 2 and use some of the cute Dora fabric I have left over from Miss Ley's infatuation with Dora that suddenly ended last year and was replaced with How to Train Your Dragon and Skylanders.
I am very impressed with this pattern. It was my first Ainslee Fox pattern and when this challenge is over I will definitely be happy to purchase more of her patterns. It came together very easily and the finish is just lovely.
I absolutely love all her little tips throughout the pattern and found myself saying OMG why did I not know this a couple of times. I wasn't so keen on the hand sewing but I know it gives a better finish so I sucked it up. I think I need to spend some time practicing getting my hand stitching nice and even.
If you would like to follow my progress or even join me on this crazy challenge you can follow me on Instagram and use #makeallthepatterns to tag your challenge pieces. I would love the encouragement! Plus what an awesome way to see all the amazing patterns out there for me to buy! Hehehe I'm not sure if the reasoning behind this challenge has sunk in yet...
The next pattern on my list is The Potato Chip Skirt by Tie Dye Diva
