An Ottobre Dress in Elvelyckan Fabric

A while ago I was lucky to be chosen as one of the seamstresses for Elvelyckan Design fabrics. They sent me two different fabrics and some ribbing to play with. Yeah! I already made a shirt for myself with the first fabric. It was Ania's turn to get the dress. I was really hoping they would send me some of their adorable lion fabric, and they did!

The fabric is super nice, just a dream to work with! It's a bit thicker than the typical jersey. It feels more like interlock. I think this weight for knit is typical for European knit fabric. I love it.

The pattern is from Ottobre 4/2013 issue. It also comes as a tunic. There is also an option with pockets. Originally, I planned to add pockets, and then totally forgot. Oops. I made no changes except I attached the binding differently. They suggest to do it with the sewing machine in a way that imitates the coverstitch finish. Except, there are raw edges left on the inside, and I also find it a bit difficult to keep neat. So I attached it with the serger and topstitched.

Apparently, she is pretending to be a captain on the ship. Whatever works. lol

Photobomb! She insists on coming every time we take pictures. I hope the love between them remains as they grow older.
