Let's sew a Peony!

It's October, Peony time! Are you sewing along with us? It's not too late, you can download a pattern right now if you want to :)

First things first, this is what I am working on this week:


My goal is to have this done soon and have a wearable muslin to show sometime next week. I'm bringing my "A" game this month you guys, I want to have the final dress completed by the end of the month for my wedding anniversary. Three years of marriage and eight years of love mean that we are going to my most favorite place in the world and a new dress is necessary. I can't wait to show you pictures of where we are going! Plus, Peony will make the most perfect holiday dress, so I know I will have something to wear for upcoming parties.

    i am! i have a wearable muslin (which i am wearing right now) which i need to take pics of. i think i have worked out a slight shoulder adjustment that I need from working on my Anise muslin which i think will improve the fit. i have bought the fabric for the real thing!

      i'm just very slow at taking pics! i bought the fabric to make a peony ages ago, and it got bumped for the macaron sewalong. so i really had no excuse. my main project at the moment is the anise, and it's a biggie!

      For the final dress I picked a pretty green poplin from Mood. I'm excited for it!

    I think I'll muslin tomorrow..I am worried about that wide neckline so I've been procrastinating. I keep seeing cute ones online though (finished). Need to buckle down and participate in one of these! :)

    I attempted 3 toiles on the weekend. No joy for me. I just can't get Colette bodices to work for small busts.

      I made a wearable muslin this weekend and it looks like I will have to do some work on the bodice as well!

    Just found your website via Pinterest. I've been watching the Mad Men series this fall while I work in my pottery studio and absolutely love it...the history, the clothes, everything! I've also been wanting to be part of a sew-along...hope it isn't too late to begin.
