Mid-burger construction. |
I ran into a hotdog! |
Lettuce and Cheese! |
Tomato. |
The lettuce was probably my favorite veggie on the dress. I simply used a knit polyester type fabric and gathered using elastic down the center.
In all, this dress was very easy to put together, although had I not been making it in two days, I'd have taken a bit more time with the boning portion. I broke only one needle, and that was because I was trying to rush the process.
I did end up sewing a fry purse, using one of the Keyka Lou patterns, enlarging for my own [nefarious] purposes.
I added a zipper so my purse-things wouldn't fall out, and I also added "fries" made of two colors of felt.
I chose red for the outside and a white and yellow gingham for the inside, to recall the McDonald's take-out carton. Two projects for people other than myself include: Vintage: Butterick 5454, girls skort pattern - with a story from my childhood about the fabric and the pattern! Current: New Look 6754, a sleeveless top for my mom. More soon! |
Now that's what I call dressing for successful dining-- inspired! : )
