Summer Eclair

I finally have gotten around to sewing up this dress which has been sitting on my desk for months.  I cut it out just after new years along with another dress and a shirt.  The other dress and shirt are still waiting to be sewn up.  Considering I want to sew 30 things this year and this is only my second I think I better get my butt into gear.  Anyway, here is my new dress:

Summer Eclair

Pattern: Eclair by Colette Patterns
Material: Cotton
Time Taken: 2 months
Actual Sewing Time: approx 4 hours
Would you sew again: Yes!  This is actually my second Eclair I have made already but it is such an easy pattern to sew.

This pattern is so quick and easy to make.  It only took 4 hours including the cutting out of the pattern.  It may be because it is the second one I have made that it went so quickly but still that is pretty impressive. Hopefully I can get one more dress done before we go to Europe in 1 week but I wouldn't count on it!

Very cute babes! I couldn't EVER do strapless, but you make it look so effortless, I think I'll have to try this one someday.

I'm working on my first Colette pattern EVER at the moment! How cute are the little books with the pattern?! Very tidy!
