Creation of the Month — April
(Posting late again)
I missed March. Life got in the way, and that’s okay.
This month’s creation is the Juni Dress from .ordinaryfolk
The pattern was a great investment, with lots of modification options to customise the style of dress you want to make.

I chose the full front bodice, long sleeves, straight waist, and mini dress length. The fabric is Boho Ditzy Floral Organic Cotton, with Sage Broadcloth used for the contrasting collar and sleeve frills, both from
There were definitely a few obstacles along the way (see previous post). I completely failed my toile, but learnt a lot from the process and was able to correct those mistakes for the final version — which is really the whole point of making one.
The vision for this dress was to wear it to a backyard high tea party for my thirtieth birthday.
I’ll admit that because of the failed toile (which took up my long weekend), I ended up sewing every afternoon/night after work just to finish it in time.
But I’m so happy with how this one turned out. I think it looks really cute, and it was actually very comfortable and breathable to wear.
I’ll definitely be making more versions of this dress.
