Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a sundress I made for a charity auction. I used a simple shirring technique for the dress. The flowers were made by gathering small fabric circles at the center, then sewing each one on individually down the hip and seamline.
I also made a coordinating wrap sweater from a pattern I designed originally to be used for a fleece fabric a few projects back. (Project name: Autumn wrap)
Material Notes
jersey, double knit jersey
