Goodness Cath, , that’s such a wonderful story about your Grandmother’s beautiful fabric. Full of sentimental emotion. The corset is stunning and looks so beautifully made. So clever. I love the Meet Milk fabric. Enjoy sewing it 💕

[@madebycathcraft]

I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing about my granny’s silk fabric 😊 Thanks I’m looking forward to finally getting the meet milk fabric sewn up, it’s been in my stash too long! ❤️

Wonderful corset with its history. Love the dress you’re wearing and the fabric is so cute! Your challenge dress will be so special- I’d either go for the frill with straight checks or else cut on the bias for the contrasting details. Either would be fabulous ❤ Thanks for sharing xx

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 that’s a really good point for the challenge dress, to concentrate on one feature or the other. Thank you ❤️ xx

What a wonderful story about the fabric and corset from your Granny! I wonder if she made something from a bit of it? On the other dress, what about eliminating all the ruffly parts and letting the checks do the talking? I love your idea of running the yoke on the diagonal! That would really be a smart detail. And you were a great seamstress even when you weren't!! That corset is great!😂

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 I’m not sure if my granny made anything from it. Thanks yes I do love the idea of letting the checks do the talking Ahh thank you re the corset 😄😄 I think if I made another now it would definitely feel like starting from scratch!

[@maryfry1652]

What a lovely thing to make with the fabric. It's a lovely keepsake and you can wear it in remembrance of your Grandma. Wonderful.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊

[@DoloresDeeBodnar]

Love your fabric and your pattern, can't wait to see it made up on precious fabric 24😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much 😊

What a lovely corset and story. Very precious and beautiful. A great idea a winter Davenport. I love that dress and even love it as a blouse. Great idea

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 I am looking forward to making the Davenport, I just need to get started now, I hope I’ll have time to finish this month 🤞. I haven’t seen the Davenport as a blouse, I’m off to have a look now as that sounds lovely!

[@shellyscott8275]

Hi Cath 👋 I really loved hearing the history of your Grandma’s beautiful green silk fabric. A lovely poignant collaberation 😊. I do hope that you find the occasion to wear it once more and how lovely that your daughter may wear it one day. Meet Milk fabrics are always classics, but shirt dresses really suit you. Get it done !! Look fabulous and feel happy wearing it 😄 No shoulder frills though, a tad too much if I may say so 🤔 Have a good week x 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi Shelly I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing about my granny’s silk fabric 😊 Thanks yes I need to get sewing now with the Meet Milk fabric! Hope you have a good week too 😊 x

[@nancyhilborn885]

I absolutely love your corset! Precious on so many levels, a real keepsake that you can hand down to your daughter.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊❤️

[@jtea6863]

Omg....I remember when you made that...these shirt dresses are timeless looks great on you. Thanks for sharing the corset.really beautiful and precious. That green checked fabric will be very flattering on you. I think you should keep the little flutter things on the shoulders it will certainly blend in with the fabric but also create a nice balanced look on your figure.

[@madebycathcraft]

It was lovely to get the corset back out again, I’m glad you enjoyed hearing about it. Thanks i appreciate your opinion re the flutter sleeves and the balance they add, that’s a good point.

[@Lily.Mac56]

Thank you for sharing the story of your precious green silk with us! I love how your Granny's memory can live on through the generations in such a timeless piece! Really looking forward to your Davenport dress, I love that green MeetMilk fabric and think the dress is a perfect pattern choice (agree with keeping things simple and not doing the shoulder ruffles!)

[@madebycathcraft]

You’re very welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing about my granny’s silk fabric 😊 Thank you I can’t wait to get the Davenport dress all sewn up!

[@sewchilled22]

It was lovely to hear about your precious fabrics.. Thank you 😊

[@madebycathcraft]

You’re very welcome I’m glad you enjoyed 😊

[@chlomo2618]

So nice to see something you made so long ago, and in such lovely precious fabric! I'm excited to see your finished Davenport with that fantastic fabric. I think it'll work really well without the frills; it will let the fabric and style lines shine.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, it was really nice to get the corset out 😊 Thank you I need to get my skates on with the Davenport now!

[@unsewcial]

Looking forward to seeing your plans brought to life for this challenge!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thanks Kris! 😊

[@2siameezers]

Honestly, your Paris dress is the cutest dress I’ve ever seen. I love the pink buttons 💕

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you so much 😊💓

[@janicecoulson5388]

Love your corset, what a lovely thing to have and pass on. My Granny embroidered a corner of a tablecloth. My Mum did another corner. I then was given it to do a corner. Alas my daughter was born blind. It's still wrapped in tissue, as now I am lucky enough to have 2 Granddaughters, so who knows they may finish it

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much 😊 Your family’s embroidered tablecloth sounds like such a wonderful heirloom. How lovely if your granddaughters do finish it ❤️

[@nickymercer4398]

Hi Cath, great to see you. I absolutely love your corset and the silk material. Did your granny ever see you wear it? I'm sure you'll get the dress made in time, can't wait to see you wearing it. Have a lovely weekend/week 🥰

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi Nicky, thank you very much 😊 unfortunately my granny didn’t get to see me wear it. Thanks I need to get sewing now! fingers crossed I can get it done! Hope you have a lovely week too 🥰

[@marygreen7225]

Thank you Cath for sharing the really interesting story of your Granny and the silk fabric. It really is beautiful and so well sewn. The green check will make a lovely winter dress.

[@madebycathcraft]

I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing about it, it was really nice to get the corset out and have a look at it as I haven’t had it out for a long time 😊 Thank you I can’t wait to get the dress sewn up!

[@sewninsuffolk]

I was sooo hoping you were going to do something with that fabric! I absolutely adore the colour ❤ and I think it will be a perfect pattern for that fabric. I was going to suggest doing the yokes on the bias just to add a little detail and then you said it! Definitely do that! You could also just baste in the flutter frills and see how you feel about it before sewing them in properly. Looking forward to the finished dress. Your corset is stunning! Thank you for sharing x

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you very much, I’m glad I’ve finally made a decision on it, I’m looking forward to getting it sewn up now. That’s a very good plan re basting the flutter frills thank you Thanks it was nice to get the corset back out 😊 x

[@candacedaniel3907]

Thank you for sharing the story about the corset ❤ I agree, leave the ruffles off the shoulders. If there’s any fabric left, I think it would make an amazing Brumby skirt!

[@madebycathcraft]

❤️ You’re right, it would be fantastic as a Brumby skirt! Thank you!

[@dbdesignsandsewingaustrali5668]

I made a Take A Chance dress in a very similar fabric to your check fabric it’s a fabulous winter dress, you can wear a Spencer, tights and boots, very warm for winter

[@madebycathcraft]

The Take a Chance dress pattern looks lovely! Yes I hope it’ll be a dress I get lots of wear out of in winter, I’m looking forward to getting it sewn up 😊

[@vernakg]

The shoulder detail might work in a solid light or even the darker green. You would need to match them perfectly.

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you that’s a really nice idea

[@vernakg]

Would the fit be OK with fabric that has less structure and with stretch?
