Green Velvet Coco Dress

Well, well, well... here we are in the middle of it. A shitstorm of huge proportions. We have been 1 month confined now, and I am 99.9% at home. I work, luckily, I have my 15 students connected and working. We are feeling healthy by now, and our house is quite comfy... but it is so sad, so so sad and scary. Such huge number of lives, families and loves... well, one cannot only try to be happy in isolation! But at least, we try to have a nice time, to keep sane physically and mental. Sewing and knitting are so precious to me now that I feel guilty than not everybody has them. But probably they would not care, we all have our secret weapons, or not. 

Well, so here I am sewing clothes I do not wear. This was my 1st project done in confinement, and I have since then moved through community face mask making, to slow tailoring and couture making... I am NOT buying online, because I do not want to punt anybody in risk, nor me. So my small stash will have to do. 

I bought this second version of organic velvet jersey from Stoff&Still. They have it also in black and dark blue, and I will end up having them all! It is SO gorgeous. Perfect hang, thinkness, touch... I love it and I thought a (own version) Coco would be lovely. I've made it in the past with single jersey, now I realise it was a mistake, and I will soon cut into a top. But I do love a cozy winter Coco to wear to work, so I thought this  thicker confy fabric would be a good match with the my Coco pattern. And it is.
