As many of you know, I dibble and dabble with sewing. This Summer I’ve decided to sew more. I enjoy seeing the clothing come together from my needle! I’m in a sewing group & everyone kept talking about Simplicity 8379 knit dress pattern. I knew I had to make this dress for date night.
It was a really simple pattern. I decided I’ll make this for our Jazz cruise date in New Orleans aboard the Steamboat Natchez.
We decided we would go for the Jazz Buffet Lunch cruise. We enjoyed a two-hour cruise from the heart of the French Quarter aboard the Steamboat NATCHEZ! The cruise was really nice.
The steamboat captain gave us the history of the steamboat + pointed out interesting highlights about New Orleans during the cruise.
My dress was perfect for a jazz Cruise.
When I tell you this was an easy pattern, believe me! I literally sewn this together in under two hours. The good thing is, I had everything I needed to create this Date Night outfit.
I choose a really nice knit from Fabrics.com. The pattern called for just over 2 yards of fabric.
Overall, I really loved making this dress. I just may make another one.
The dress was light enough that I didn’t overheat out on the steamboat in the summer New Orleans heat. The hubby and I truly enjoyed cruise on the Mississippi for two hours.
We can definitely add this to our #summerofdates bucket list!
