I've got some green fabric I think I'll finally get to use (it's been in my stash ever since I plucked it off the sale shelf at Joann Fabrics about a year ago).

I'm in love with this type of collar and have been meaning to try one. <br /><br />As for pattern searching techniques, you're not stupid! I bet you could actually type in something like "sewing pattern dress with collar" on Etsy and find something. However, I usually end up searching through simplicity.com's entire stock of simplicity and new look dress patterns whenever I get an email that there's a sale. I'm pretty sure that's how I ended up with this one. Not very strategic. :)<br /><br />Also, I can't wait to see how your Joan dress turns out!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303837420300176952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-73437944311601007062012-02-24T07:30:12.502-05:002012-02-24T07:30:12.502-05:00What a great pattern fit!

Mind if I ask how you search for patterns when you have the dress design in mind? Maybe I'm stupid but I don't know how to find e.g. 'Wiggle dress with a collar'. Does one google or is there a magical sewing wiki where you can put in design features and find the perfect pattern? :)Stitchandwitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312274903562408350noreply@blogger.com
