Garden Lady #10 - part 2

This is a continuation of the making of Garden Lady #10, Winter Interest.

I tackled the dress next.  I found a commercial fabric that was off-white with flecks of gold that seemed like it was perfect for this quilt.  The top of the dress and the bottom of the dress were made as two different pieces.  I used freezer paper underneath the fabric and traced the lines with a water soluble blue pen.  Then I used two different colors of Tombow ink pens to draw the seam lines and shadows.  

When the inking was done, I pressed an interfacing to the back, sewed on the outside lines, and glued the seam allowances to the back.

I put the pieces up on the design wall and liked the way they turned out.

I also bought a couple yards of an off-white tulle and placed a double layer on top to see how I liked the effect.

I like it, but think that I will wait until the piece is quilted and add it at the very last.  (That was a suggestion from one of my artsy quilting friends!)

I hope you like it so far.
