For my ten year old daughter, who doesn’t like fussy dresses but complimented me many times on these three.
The blue and the deep-red stripe were both from Gray’s General Store. The red organic jersey was bought on sale some time ago.
I sew most my knits with a slight zig-zag and a stretch needle. I have a serger, but I prefer to work on a sewing machine. These dresses sewed up rather quickly, given I use my mat and rotary cutter and am an old hand at sewing with knits.
All three dresses were based on a pattern by Chicken Hill, graded up for Phoenix’s tall, lanky frame. At first I thought I’d offer these to clients, but the waist tie requires a rather personalized placement, so I won’t be doing so at this time. However, if you’re sewing up some yourself and want any tips, shoot me a text or email! kelly AT hogaboom DOT org, 3605003287.
