sundressing

Every year I love the sundress series at Melly Sews (see previous years here, here and here). This year has to be my favorite, though, because Melissa is the new author of the book, “Sundressing” and, for the series, I got a sneak peak of the book and a chance to try out one of the patterns.

This year, I also let Piper choose everything about her dress. She thumbed through the book and chose the Oasis dress (no surprise there!) and then she picked out her fabric at Dongdaemun market in Seoul.

I love sewing Melissa’s patterns for many reasons, but my favorite thing about them is their level of finish. It isn’t surprising that this dress from her book carries that same level of professional finish.

Pi and I are both in love. In fact, I finished this dress three weeks ago and she’s worn it to church twice since then- haha!

Next on my list- the Bellevue dress for Piper and the Sutton dress for me!
