The Summer Of No Pants 2015 ~ post #1

Sad news: Marigold is not hosting Summer Of No Pants this year...but I completely understand, as it is a lot of work in and of it self & she has a job & family to care for.  I'm going to do my own little SONP~ you know just posting what I'm up too.     (I'll also share on the Summer of No Pants Google+ group, and anyone (even you!) can join & post at anytime.)


~I used my go-to pattern, the retired Simplicity #8071
~Mom suggested that I cut the skirt on the bias, and I'm glad that I did!
~I added an extra inch of fabric to each shoulder front, and gathered it to make it match the back bodice.  (Then pinched it out (2 pleats) at the waist.)
~The zipper is a regular zipper, set in the side, so I did not have to worry about the plaid matching!
~I also lengthened the bodice a 3 inches (too long), so I could wear a belt with it.


 The fabric is a nice light/cool cotton plaid that was given to me by my friend Gay, and the *Zipper came from my Lisa (well, really from her friend's estate sale).  Thanks friends!


This dress had it's debut in San Marcos, Texas.  =)
