Easy peasy project: a simple bias cut cotton slip using out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 8666. There were a few modifications to the pattern to achieve the fit needed. The sides were extended 1 5/8" from the top grading out and additional inch at the hemline. The front was lowered an inch and a half. The sides are finished with French seams. The neckline and armhole are finished with bias tape found in the stash. The hemline is shortened two and a half inches and finished with a narrow top-stitched hem.
The fabric has been in the stash for a long time, actually picked up for lining fabric. Plans change. It was pre-treated in the wash, followed by a tumble in the dryer before ending up on the ironing board for a pressing.

Bias Tape: 2 metres
Pattern: OOP Simplicity 8666
Additional Tools & Supplies: Cutting table, pins, tailor's chalk, measuring tape, measuring gauge, scissors, thread clippers, iron, ironing board, sewing machine, thread, new sewing machine needle, screwdriver and tweezers.
