As always, this pattern includes layered printing along with detailed photos and clear directions with the ability to hop around the pattern with tabs! It’s the #stripedswallowway. I think I’m going to start using that tag from now on. 🙂
For my test version, I sewed up the Gathered Dress View with Straight Sleeves. The naked shoulder was definitely something I had to get used to in the chilly weather here. It is quite breezy, but will be perfect for summer. I snatched up this fabric from Hobby Lobby a while back and had just enough to make this and I’m hoping I can squeeze out a matching version for one of the girls. It’s a very light cotton lycra, but super soft and drapey.
To wrap up this share, I did have a little person who realized she also has a shirt in this fabric and ran in to change so we could take a matching photo. She isn’t groomed, but it is too fun not to share. She was so proud we matched and needed a picture. I had some major resolution issues, so it is tiny.
I just sewed up one version. To see what all the options look like, check out the tester round-up here. I love how you can see all the options along with things people did to make their Desert Breeze their own. Let me know what version you will sew up first!
