Its week two of the summer sew along with Wren Feathers. This week's pattern is for a blouse or dress with a scoop neckline and puff sleeves.
I chose to make it both ways using the same bright pink printed fat quarter.
For the blouse, I cut the pattern at the dress bodice line and then cut a two inch ruffle for the bottom. I pleated the ruffle and attached it to the rest of the blouse. Then on each of the flowers in the print, I added flower shaped pink sequin. This look was then paired with Zelia's shorts for the photos.
The dress was cut with the sleeves patten slightly off the fold to add a little fullness. The skirt was cut at 6 inches long and was box pleated with the top couple inches stitched in place. The dress was then accented with a silver ribbon belt a the waist seam.
Zelia decided to remain barefoot and wear her hair in a ponytail for the photos of both looks. And she decided to play around in the rock garden by the strawberries for the dress pictures.
Check out Flickr for a picture of the top and more views of the dress beyond the one posted on Sew Dolled Up.
