Sewing Catch Up| Estella Dress Win & ME2065 Disappointment (& Rant) |Pattern Haul & Updates

Hi Friends,
Thanks for all the well wishes recently!
Today I wanted to share some new items including my LDH scissors, a feather fail, and some Simplicity, Know Me, and McCall's patterns.

Bestie made me an M8064 dress in some gorgeous watercolor fabric & I completed her Estella Dress by Viki Sews from our bridal collection out of the most beautiful silk fabric from Fabric Place Basement.

Now I go on a bit of a rant when describing my frustration with myself for not investing in a toile and in the instructions for ME2065, which I have worked on and off for the past two weeks from printing, taping the PDF, cutting, and sewing this week. Spoiler alert, I got the size completely wrong, and by foregoing the toile I did not find out until I had fully constructed the blazer (minus the sleeves). I'm very disappointed, and looking forward to a bit of comfort sewing in the meantime, until we revisit this pattern.

Dee from ‪@Patternsby.Dee.‬ has done a Live Sew along and includes instructions on how to close the bottom hem of the blazer, and that's what I'll be following for my next attempt: https://www.youtube.com/live/8c9UD6P1...
