Every time I make a new garment, I end up taking pictures in my yard. I’m sure by now you probably recognize every corner and angle. So I decided to go Hollywood style and go out on location. My plan was to use the sculpture garden along the west side of CBS studios. Alas, it was parked up with a ton of trucks, plan B.
I went to a local park instead.
So maybe I don’t have all this ivy, but it doesn’t look much different from my yard.
The dress itself is cute. McCalls M6959, it fits well, it light and summery.
I really like the bias binding all around the dress, so much easier than hems and facing. I just happened to find a commercial one from Wrights that matches perfectly. 
Just to prove I’m not at home, let’s get some pictures on the playground equipment. Woah! Tripod, camera, clicker and spinning!
I think I’m holding on for dear life!
That strategically placed snap works! keeps the front bodice from gaping open, even when one is losing control on a spinner.
Phew! I need a rest. Btw, the cotton is some unknown that I bought for $6 in downtown LA. I really need to make another visit.
Another thing I did was lower the tripod some, so the angles are a little different. A few more years of practice and watch out CBS, I’ll be on the lot instead of outside.
