Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Here’s a jersey dress I made last weekend, with inseam pockets and a peter pan collar. It’s really comfy, I can tell I’ll be wearing it a lot this summer, and well into the fall. There’s a bit of puckering along the skirt seams due to tension problems on my serger, so I’m planning to fix that this weekend.
I didn’t have a pattern, but I altered a template made from one of my old t-shirts.
UPDATE: Since so many of you have requested instructions, I’m posting a sew-along on my blog! Keep posted at http://nikiatpuddlewonderful.blogspot.com/ for instructions if you’re interested!

Love the blue, red, white combo. The peter pan collar really dresses up the jersey.

It really is awesome – so much that I decided to compliment you on it even though you’ve already received a ton of compliments! I really like the way you styled it with the red belt. I just love it. Congratulations!
