On The Sun Dress you could understitch the bodice facing if you find it easier than turning under the seam allowance. Overlock the edge or add some funky binding to the facing edge ❤ #enjoysewing #thesundress #sundress #sew #sewing #imadethis
I decided to make The Sun Dress in this gorgeous mono stripe and am loving it already. This cloth is so beautiful and feels so soft in your hands. Don't you love the feeling of creating something? ❤ #thesundress #sundress #sundressstyle #imadethis #sew #sewing

Taking my time with this beautiful striped indigo cloth, pre washing by hand with a handful of salt to help fix the dye. I love the notion of slowing down and loving the whole process ❤ Then will craft myself a beautiful Sun Dress. #thesundress #dress #dressmaking #imadethis #sun #sewc#sewing
Loving the blue combinations. These fabrics are such a great match for our sewing patterns and perfect for spring/summer #avidseamstress
