Simplicity 8163; ©1969; Maternity Dress and Tunic or Mini-Dress, Bell-Bottom Pants or Shorts in Misses' Sizes: The dress V. 1 and 2 and tunic or mini-dress V. 3, 4 and 5 with back zipper and low round neckline have "let-out" side seams. All except V. 3 are collarless. All except V. 1 are sleeveless. V. 1 with self fabric neck ruffle and ribbon tie ends stitched in side seams has long "set-in" sleeves with elastic wrist casings forming self ruffles. V. 2 has self fabric bows trimmed with buckles. V. 3 with contrasting collar has button trim. V. 4 has scallop trim. V. 5 has purchased belt slipped thru thread carriers above normal waistline. Bell-bottom pants V. 3 and shorts V. 4 and 5 with elastic waistline casings have front stay of jersey or a purchased stretch panel may be used.
I find the fabric suggestions here very interesting: Loud printed cotton paisleys and indiennes were the classic fabrics of choice for wrappers/housecoats in the mid-19th century. The orange dress is very nearly the sort of print one would have seen 80 years earlier.

Made with the Blue Birds print. I love Geninne and the quality of Cloud 9 fabric. I'm really excited to wear this skirt this summer! Blogged at: esposetta.blogspot.com/2012/04/two-skirts.html.
Made using Simplicity 2975 and Nicey Jane fabric. Green is Kona Cotton, but I can't remember the name... The pattern ran a little small for me. Be sure and measure your hips before you cut into your fabric!

Russ Miles and David Dawson came to Skills Matter and gave a one day workshop on how to inject simplicity in software. Working in teams, delegates created their code to navigate a real world AR drone (without crashing it!), learning how to break down a problem and tradeoff for the right values in Architecture, Design and Code. How to create the right number of tests to build the right level of confidence and how to enable Real Application Agility through Simplicity.

What do you do the morning after a long haul flight? Sew of course! Having spent the last seven weeks in cold, snowy, rainy England, I have returned to Singapore. Of course the morning I left for the airport the weather was glorious, I almost changed my flight! At least now I’m motivated to make some summer clothes for when I return in June.
I have made this dress (view B) a few times and once for my sister who having had a hysterectomy needed something that was kind to her tummy area. In Singapore it’s more comfortable to wear something loose with nothing at the waist but as I live in the Orchard Road area I need to be smart too.
The fabric I used is a beautiful Italian linen from Joel & Son, sadly sold out now. I thought the paisley design was appropriate as I am going to India in June.
I love this pattern and it is so simple it can be made in less than two hours if you are experienced. This dress took a little longer as I was very careful with the cutting out because the pattern is quite large and it needed placing carefully. I made my usual petite adjustment then lengthened it as I wanted it to come to the middle of my knees.
I cut the pieces on one layer to make sure the print was in the correct place.
I would suggest making a muslin of the sleeves before you make up the fashion fabric as I found them to be too big. It’s easy to adjust the shoulder seam to fit your shape as the sleeve is in two pieces. I have broad shoulders but slim upper arms so I pinned the sleeve to my shape being careful to leave some ease. I made new pattern pieces the first time I made this dress so I wouldn’t have to adjust them again.
My adjusted pattern pieces
I shaped the neck binding with my iron before I pinned it.
I mostly followed the instructions as written but I stitched in the ditch on the front of the binding after basting to make sure it was even and wouldn’t slip during sewing. I don’t know why instructions leave this step out, I find basting really helps my sewing. I also machine stitched the hem as this dress will need to be washed often.
I know I will make this pattern again but next time I will try silk for a change as I now have three linen versions.
Happy Sewing
