Reversible dress

Basically it's in the title. I was cruising through instagram and saw a sponsored post of a floral 3/4 sleeve knit dress and decided to make one for myself. The floral knits were a bit limited and the fabric I got was slightly too thin to be made without a lining so...reversible dress, it is! 

 

Details: long sleeves, boat neck, a-line dress. As usual, no pattern. The only thing I wished I could alter is the armpit size. Maybe my shoulders/arms are bigger than I expect? There's also a bit of excess fabric in the back but I wouldn't be able to take it in unless I had a long zipper and it looked decent with a belt. Without, it seems a bit too matronly in my opinion. 

Yay for more work-appropriate clothes!

Floral Tote

I've been meaning to make myself a bag [tote or legit backpack] for quite some time-since I made tote bags for my friends a couple christmases ago, to be honest, but I never got around to it. However, I figured it was high time to make something as my fabric pile was not going to get any smaller. I decided to go ahead and make a tote bag as it is much simpler and I already bought the fabric needed last year.

I made it from what I remembered of this tutorial from Skip to my Lou, but I took some liberties. I added pockets to both the inside and outside of the bag. I also made the straps have two different sides and purposely made them mismatch.



The front pocket has two compartments while the inside pocket is divided.

The bag is HUGE!
