Good, Bad & Ugly - Sew-a-Long

I am part of a wonderful facebook sewing group; the Good, Bad & Ugly.  Last week they posted their first sew-a-long, and I have been wanting to try one so I made both of the featured patterns.  


My first dress was made from the "Endless" pattern by Jocole.  It has tons of options; I choose the empire bodice, peter pan collar, puff sleeves and sash.  I was going for a vintage 1940's inspired look and I think I succeeded in my vision.  My daughter will be wearing this dress for her 1st birthday next month, which will have a vintage country picnic theme.





The second dress was made from the "Clara" pattern from Les Files a Maman.  I ordered my fabric from online for the first time...I just adore this ship fabric from Michael Miller and found a coral seersucker to coordinate.  This pattern can go either modern or classic, I love the A-line and gathered combo.  I added the ruffled bloomers to complete the look.
