Candy Skulls Dress & BERNINA Update!

Today I participated in a pin up photo shoot event and I decided I needed to whip up something fabulous for the occasion the night before! This is one of my first projects I worked on using some of the lovely features of the Bernina 330! The pattern for the dress was an adapted version of the Butterick Retro '47 halter dress pattern, and the fabric is the "Los Novios" print from JoAnn's.




I loved how easy it was to make this gorgeous dress in only an hour! I love the zipper foot that came with the Bernina 330, snap it on and WHAM! BAM! I have a professional looking zipper! And to think I used to dread putting one in!!! I can't believe how much easier and carefree sewing has become!

Hopefully soon I will have some shots from the actual photo shoot!
