Description
A quick and simple project that is a good choice for beginners.
I am not a fan of an increased waist line but this pattern seemed to be ideal to combine two fabrics which surely looked like companions but none of them was enough to make a separate item. And I am very glad with the result! The ready outfit turned out to be pretty light and romantic. The silhouette is quite loose so I think the dress will be good for hot weather despite its not very short sleeves.
I cut the dress in September when it was still warm outside but only had some free time to sew it the other days so it can be considered as an early preparation for spring:-))
My notes for sewing are here.
The jewelry was made by myself, too:-)
Material Notes
Blue linen and floral cotton and rayon blend.

Thank you very much! The pattern and the fabrics seemed to beg for that themselves – combine us:-)

Дякую:-) Я не дуже сміливий експерементатор – прихільність до класики та острах переборщити стримують:-) Але тут чомусь захотілося потренуватися:-)

Thank you, Mary, very much! I do not combine fabrics too often.. I’d rather say I almost never do so but your and Ellen’s projects encourage my trying.
