Its been a tradition of mine since forever to sew my NYE look. Even if I don’t go out I like to dress up for the family party. It’s that one time of year you can go all out with metallics, sequins, and basically be a disco ball. This year I was inspired to create a themed look based on celestial beauty. I wanted stars, moons, and galaxies mixed with a rich velvet. Because the embroidery would be dramatic I wanted a classic silhouette like this slip dress. I found the perfect stretch velvet from Mood Fabrics to work with this pattern. This stretch velvet made it easy to create a fitted dress without the hassle of adding a closure. For the embroidery I went with several designs from Embroidery Online. I can always find what I’m looking for when it comes to embroidery designs. I searched star and found an array of patterns to use. For the tutorial to make the slip dress go here. Get the details below on how to make your own NYE dress.
