"D" is for Dresses

Sew: Spring dresses for my girls

Seersucker, white cotton yoke neck and ruffles, we're ready for Spring.

And yes that is my girl #2 and girl #1 on the beach in New York in February.
No school this week and the weather is balmy!

Here's how I made the dresses:

1. Using Simplicity pattern #2270 dress B:

2. Cut out pieces:

- blue seersucker for the dress front, back and ruffle

- white Kona cotton for the yoke neck

3. Follow the pattern for construction.

4. Add the ruffled trim, 3/4" wide seersucker cut on the bias, twice the circumference of the dress.

Gather using loose zigzag stitch, pin in place and straight stitch.

We have multiple Spring events this year: Baptism, First Holy Communion, birthdays and Graduation so these dresses are bound to get some good use.

Thanks girls for modeling!
