Crazy Projects

I have a new project. It's one part excitement over Oktoberfest and one part looking for a creative outlet.

I'm going to make a dirndl. Or at least to try.

After much debate, I settled on a purple dress with dots, and a bright striped fabric for apron and trim. The brighter purple is just for a fun lining, so it shouldn't show. Luckily, the stores here have a big table or two full of trachten fabrics!

We'll see how it goes...I'll definitely take pictures along the way.

Good luck. Can't wait to see photos!

Thanks, it's going to be a good learning project! I've already learned a few lessons from mistakes and will be using something different for the lining :)

I look forward to seeing this project unfold. I did some sewing in my younger days but never became really good at it.

I remember you sewed your own Barbie clothes when we were kids!
