A blog of Sewing Sweetness. Pattern Reviews, Tutorials, and More.
Several years ago Katy at Wild + Wonderful started hosting an annual Sew Americana Tour. I participated the first year and absolutely loved my creation. I share it often when the day calls for a little patriotic nod. You can find that post here. Last …
As part of the summer capsule I’ve been working on, I was on the hunt for woven top patterns. I particularly wanted several with thin, spaghetti-like straps because I know my girls choose clothing based on comfort and they are already complaining about the heat. …
It is Day 6 of the Pre-Show!!! We made it to the end of the beginning. I hope you have been enjoying these quick sew pattern features we have been featuring for you. If this is your first stop visiting the Make Laundry, Don’t Do Laundry Pre-Show, learn all about it on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5.
Today I’m featuring the Kelsey Dress from Sis Boom. It’s a super cute little pattern that makes for a fast sew and if you leave off the ruffle option on the bottom, it is even faster. Can you tell this girl is ready for her trip to Disney in a few weeks? Complete with Minnie wallet, she is ready to roll.
The Kelsey pattern includes a simple dress with cross over bodice. The pattern includes Maxi, Tea Length, and Tunic Lengths, with and without ruffle options. The skirt is not especially full, so if you are a froo-froo kind of sewist, you may want to add some with to you your skirts when cutting. I personally like less fluff on tunics because they tend to stay down better and blow up less on breezy days.
I also stitched up another Kelsey recently. It really is a quick sew and a perfect top for summer. To see even more Kelsey examples, join the SisBoom facebook group here.
