Sienna loves robots….so I made the shirt into a dress. Sienna does an outstanding robot dance…..
Today we are off to Charlotte, North Carolina for my sister’s week of wedding festivities! So excited! Poor Diesel has to stay behind with the house sitter.
I’ve got a bunch of stuff set up to post this week……so the blog won’t be neglected! Talk to you soon!
The Sawyer Dress is my dress design submission for Shabby Apple Dresses Dare to Design!
Inspiration: I wanted to create an adult version of the dresses that I make for “Boo” and what better than a “Spring” version. The pattern is obviously already in the works and maybe this will be the “push” I need to finally get the pattern finished! I love the fit of the dress I designed, I love the fabric variations, I love the yummy thread colors:
Here are some of the features I included:
:: A wide “boatneck”and slim elbow length sleeves.
:: Slightly fitted to the waist, the skirt portion of the dress follows an A-line to the horizontal seam mid-thigh and then flares out in a “pieced” tier. The dress falls to just below the knee.
:: Seams are reversed right above the bust line, at two points at the waist, mid-thigh and in the vertical center of the bottom portion of the skirt. All other seams are hidden.
:: The reversed seams are a subtle contrast color to the main color of the dress.
:: Fabric: stretch cotton or polyester/rayon/spandex blend.
:: An “inspired” girls version….with capped sleeves and similar seaming.
Update: I actually got around to making a simplified version (click for the post):
