27 dresses- gorgeous women’s dresses to add to your “to make” list


Has your mailbox been full of fall catalogs like mine has? I love perusing the fall dress gorgeousness at JCrew, Anthropologie, etc. It makes me want to sew something for me!

While that might not be happening anytime soon (y’all should see my multi-tiered to-do list these days), I still thought a round up of Sewing for ME! dresses was an order (some of them are from right here on kojo). I should say- some of these are more fall-ish than others, but I think most of them can be winter-ized with fabric choice, tights and a cardigan.

With that- here are 27 FREE women’s dress tutorials and patterns that have made their way onto my To-Make list-

sunshine poured out maxi dress tutorial

I love the color yellow. I think it could even be called the happiest color. Just making this dress made me feel like I was working with sunshine. And as much as Iā€™m sure everyone else could say the same thing, I think I got the best color for Color My Summer. With a baby […]

make your own drop waist blouson beach dress

If you sent me into a clothing store with $50 to spend, chances are I’d come out with a new dress (or two- depending on the store). I realize that it’s probably more practical to buy separate pieces, but dresses continue to woo me with their ease and promise of a one-piece-outfit. And I kind […]
