Friday Pattern Co. 'Saguaro' Hack: Mistakes were made
Posted by GABRIELLE ROWEN-CLARKE
Those who follow Cloth Edit on Instagram and who subscribe to the Newsletter saw a progress shot of this dress in Cloth Edit’s ‘Painterly’ linen. It’s a ‘hack’ of the Friday Pattern Co. ‘Saguaro’ bodice / top and the skirt from the Vogue V9253. I’ve done two prior, successful hacks of the Saguaro, although I used the Friday Pattern Co. Davenport skirt pieces in those. I wanted a bit more fullness at the hem (without a tiered frill) and so decided on my ‘go to’, A-Line Vogue pattern. Alas, I was cutting this out late at night, in a rush for the ‘Gather and Stitch’ the next day, and made unforced errors. When will I learn my lesson
