There is just one way to title my latest make: The Git Commit Dress.1 Same green hues, near-half the squares. Measuring the amount of hues and triangles, I’m looking like the every-day-every-night programmer with occasional free days in-between. Also I’ve been coding for a century.
Details:
- Vintage-style dress, Burda 6520, has pockets
- 100% Cotton, lined with cotton satin (not part of the original pattern)
- Buttons, invisible zipper from stash
- Pattern match in vital places such as the button closure
- Pleats match darts and center front
- Lots and lots of hand sewing for the bodice and the seam for nice results. It pays off every time.
This was the first time I actually lined the bodice of a dress myself (thanks, Gertie!), and I even managed to get a nice finish around the bottom button closure. Swears across several rooms ensued when I realized I did not take the closure into account, fearing the dress would be left unfinished there. Two small cuts at the end of the interfacing and bias binding did the trick though, and now it has a clean finish.
A dress form hasn’t found its way to me yet and good lighting has stayed with my old journalist job.

I know, I know, it should be plural, but the near-rhyme sounds better than “git commits”. ↩︎
