Will get on to making the patterns tomorrow. I might make a few - one for each center - rather than one each. I do not have that much paper! :/

By **seraphik**. 20/06/11, 05:51 pm

that would be awesome!! do we have any prefs for fabric choice too? global fabrics had this real nice mediumweight cotton blend :9

By Pura. 20/06/11, 06:30 pm

I love the amazing blinding text (:

You can get this like ... semi smooth fabric that's the first thing I think of when I see there dresses. I want to say polyester, but I don't know if that's right P:

By Tails. 20/06/11, 07:48 pm

I like how I'm the only one with my real name up there ^_^; Looking forward to this though! I've never been in a group this big before.

WHOOPS.... i always just think of you as tahlee-rae :9 /changes

I thought I was Belgium...? lol

But keen for this group <333

Re: fabric - just a medium weight cotton blend would be fine. They have basic white ones at Fabric Warehouse that can be dyed really easily, and cotton sateen comes in HEAPS of colours. But, it's $17/m Neutral

Oh, yes - I don't know if this is just way too picky or not, but could we pick a width for our trims and keep it the same across all dresses? Say, 10cm?

EDIT OH MY GOD photo idea! In civic square, or somewhere where a photographer (JP? Very Happy

?) can stand over head and look down at us all standing in a circle spinning so our skirts flare out! Like a little rainbow of SKIRTS.

so is the shoot happening on the 17th of September? (just realised Sakura fest will be around then, hope they don't clash!)

By sakuramiyabi. 21/06/11, 05:20 am

I thought it was the first weekend of September because that's the only time university holidays intersect?

EDIT: Yup facebook it says 3-4th Sept

By Static. 21/06/11, 05:31 am

Okay guys, I have one pattern. It takes a large amount of paper, and will also need a large amount of fabric - probably around 3-4m each. Do we have enough time to send a single pattern around the place, or not really? If wellington people want to meet upm we can all cut ours at the same time and then chuck it in the post.

THANK YOU SYLVIE<3333333333333333 much love to you!

can the CHCH/dunedin ppl copy it during chchgeddon next week????
...ohgoditsnextweek

By Tails. 21/06/11, 05:52 am

I can meet up in Wellington :) and I don't mind 3-4 metres of fabric if it's not too costly, like not over $15 a metre~

By Static. 21/06/11, 05:57 am

Shinrii - ...that is a very good idea and that would totally work. Okay, someone from Chch and someone from Dunedin from 3 sheets of A0 paper and you can trace it out! I will put up instructions here too, if people need them.

Tails - the cotton I'm thinking of from Fabric Warehouse is either 10 or 12/metre :)

By Icarus. 21/06/11, 06:01 am

@Alena: oh derp.

I can just copy the pattern off Tahlee when shes back in Palmy~

By Static. 21/06/11, 06:01 am

Yay! Okay then, sorted :) Welly peeps, sort your fabric and once we all have it, we can meet up and cut.

By **seraphik**. 21/06/11, 06:22 am

THERE IS ONLY ONE DUNEDIN PERSON. ;_;

also azeria i am so sorry!! i keep mixing up those two alsdkjalskdj you are still the wonderful orange. :0

By s-in-c. 21/06/11, 09:24 am

i just realized i'm the only chch person too ;-;

i'll probably spam this thread with photos so i get it right~

By sakuramiyabi. 21/06/11, 09:38 am

I think duckeh and I are the only auckland people as well? Neither of us going down for chchgeddon either XD

By **Duckeh**. 21/06/11, 02:29 pm

WARGLE. I EXIST. <3 I'll probably leave my fabric buying/doing till after DO/ACB so long as nobody minds? {Alena, we should totes do ours in a weekend marathon of sewing together~}

And swirling skirts sounds so adorabubble. ;-;

By Pura. 21/06/11, 03:07 pm

How does the sizing for it work?

By sakuramiyabi. 21/06/11, 04:14 pm

@Duckeh. Definitely <33333

By Static. 22/06/11, 06:51 am

Sizing for the pattern: I have cut it to roughly my size, which is 38"/29"/40" with a 28" hem length from the waist. Here is a sugar honey iced tea little tutorial I just whipped up:

Spoiler:

Didn't bother with the skirt or zip, let me know if anyone needs a hand there. Is everyone good with neck facings and how to put them in? Just realised I skipped that bit! Derp.

By Tails. 23/06/11, 01:32 pm

I've never put in a neck facing before but I should be fine, thanks again Sylvie! This makes things a lot easier.

By **Duckeh**. 25/06/11, 08:29 am

<3 Awesome instructions. C:

Has anyone decided how to do the detailing?
