The fabric was just so lovely to work with. This was my first time working with silk shantung and I found it much easier to handle than silk charmeuse or chiffon. Only difficulty I had with this fabric was a pattern placement. I decided not to match the print, however, the paisley motifs at the waist and the skirt on the right in the picture almost match unintentionally! It looks like I tried to match the matif and failed it! Well, except that, I love what I made.

What did I do after finishing this dress? I ate doughnuts! Rhonda from Rhonda's Creative Life posted this wonderful recipe on her blog recently. I knew I was going to try it because I love simple cake doughnuts. It was easy to make and fun to watch every doughnut puffed up really good. The sweetness was just right for me. You can find her recipe here.
Until next time, cheers to you all!
You made them!!! Don't eat too many. You need to be able to get into the cute little dresses you make. So glad you enjoyed the donuts.
