Tilda Dress – Fibre Mood

The abstract print on this fabric caught my eye and I thought it would lend itself well to this gorgeous pattern.

It has a lovely drape but enough structure to hold the shape of this fabulous collar.

I made a size 18 based on my bust and waist measurements and it fits really well. It’s a really simple sew and came together really quickly. The fabric frayed quite a bit so I decided to sew french seams, it give such a neat finish!

I am still loving big collars and this pattern doesn’t disappoint. It’s really simple to attach and finished with bias binding.

I always get a bit nervous sewing buttonholes but I took my time and my machine didn’t let me down! I used some beautiful mother of pearl buttons to finish and love the way it turned out.
