Easy Dress for the Office :)

 

This is a great dress to use at the office!
I have used quilted sweatshirt fabric that are very warm.
I had to cheer the dress up with a scarf since I love colors :) 
I also made a Casual Wool dress of the same pattern.

At first I wanted to make a round neck, but at the end 

I decided to make a V-neck as in the instruction.

I found a nice poly-satin in my stash that was perfect for the inner pockets.

At first, I stitched very closely to the seam, 

and then I top-stitched the pocket.

Then the other layer of the pocket is made of the same fabric.

I made the facing for the neck,

and I iron vliseline on the back side. 

I hand-stitched around the facing so it should stay in place.

The shoulders and the side seams are stitched together.

Since the seam made with the serger are a bit thick,

I cut a notch where the folded line for the hem is.

Then it's alo easier to stitch with the cover-lock or a twin-needle.

The hem of the sleeves are stitched with a double needle.

Then the sleeves are attached.

I had a little fun with the scarf :)
