Well I'm finally finished the
Ice Cream Social. I love the finished dress now but I found some of the pattern instructions quite strange and at one stage vowed I would never make another but I will probably just do some of the things they way that makes sense to me.
I'm not sure if these colours actually suit Lucy, they seem a bit pale for her skin tone but she was happy with it.
I did View A with the double hem and I did the underside hem in the same fabric as the bodice and the outside hem in the yoke fabric.
A big thanks to
Amy without her I am sure this dress would be sitting in the UFO pile.

that looks so sweet.
Very cute, I think the colours suit Lucy, the blue is a pretty shade. Might make a cute top too with leggings underneath. Good job! xx
Very cute! Amy did a great job with the sewalong and Lucy looks very sweet
It's gorgeous !
it looks fantastic! I really need to do some more sewing. I haven't been able to get back into it since we got back from Canberra. My mind is too full of wedding thoughts!
Cute dress. I love the combination of fabrics you picked. Very nice!
I think the dress is just adorable and looks lovely on beautiful Miss Lucy
It looks great and Lucy looks so happy in it!
Oh lovely! Well done.
I agree about doing things your own way. Sometimes that is the only way to go about it.
It looks great Cass, and it's handmade by you - what's not to love.
Good on you for sticking with it and finishing it!
Just love the fabrics you've paired together. My kind of thing!! Well done for sticking at the job and finishing. :)
She looks SO CUTE!! I love her hair! Well done Cass awesome job.
Cass that is just gorgeous. I love the fabrics together and the colours look sensational on Lucy.
The end result was great. Was it the bodice you were having trouble with? I know it isn't the look or the correct practice, but instead of enclosing the yoke, I just sewed them wrong sides together and then edge stitched it. You can see the seam on the inside - not a big deal - and sooo much easier to make
