Manhattan Dress

I absolutely love sewing the farbenmix girls dress patterns!
The Feliz Dress was so much fun to play around with,
and now I have tackled the Manhattan Dress.

So many options!
I will admitt, that it was quite daunting at first.

You are creating 2 dresses, since the lining is the exact same dress!

Manhattan Dress Begins

Okay I started cutting out the Manhattan Special Occasion Dress

for our oldest niece Abby.

40 some pieces cut out and I was almost ready to pull out my hair!
So many pieces!

I found it easy once I thought.....duh!.....
pin the piece # to each piece, with an arrow pointing toward the top of the piece.

Once I did this, the piecing together became much easier.
I now have a bodice sewn together, shell & lining! Yay!

I've seen some vibrant wild dresses using this pattern,
so I am hoping (with fingers crossed) that once I tackle this one,
that I can began to get creative like I have with the Feliz Dresses.

Okay, coffee done.....back to sewing!
