I was planning to make an Ondee out of this quilted soft cotton jersey from Paris.
Bindings are a contrasting shade of lilac in organic jersey. I wasn't
sold on the combination, exactly...but that's what happens when you look
at fabric for three days and go craaaazzzyyyy!! And I couldn't think of
any contrasting colour that would look better. And I do love my Ondee in Navy (the stripes went to a friend.)
But....still not sold on the combination, not to mention I think one Ondee is enough actually. I guess I don't really really really love it. So on a day dedicated to cutting out (I seem to work lately like this: one day of wild cutting craziness, followed by a few weeks of sewing,) I brainstormed making another long dress Plantain. Except, of course, without sleeves because 1 meter fabric and it's hot outside. I used the contrast fabric and thread after all and I reckon it matches much better than I had imagined.
No big surprises. I had actually made a pattern piece when I first turned the Plantain into a dress. I just drew the line out into an A-line skirt. The quilting, however, makes this into a warm, cozy dress. Not what one really desires on a 38 degree day! I love it though. I think this is my perfect not-summer dress to wear with a cardigan at work. In retrospect it would have made a nice Ondee too but I don't regret the change.
