Sew: sunny Spring dress
Girl #2 happily modeled this tank style dress:
Complete with red gingham trim and covered buttons up the back:
And added the red gingham bias trim as an accent:
Here’s how I made the dress:
1. Using Simplicity pattern #5226, top C extended to dress length, cut out pieces:
Construct dress as per instructions, center back top portion was modified for buttons.
2. Make fabric covered buttons with Wrights kit:
3. Make buttonholes and lay out buttons:
4. Stitch in place:
Ready to wear:
