Summer laziness has set in, but loafing around the house does also lead to cleaning and sorting through old stuff. While tidying my room, I rediscovered a few of the dresses I’d sewn over the past year and I’d thought I maybe share three of them for fun.
note: they’re all in need of an ironing– they’d been scrunched up inside a bag for a while… 
They were all pretty easy projects– unfortunately, I do not possess the skills or patience (yet!) to attempt really complicated, structured pieces. The good thing about these kinds of patterns, though, is that they’re super comfy. (As you probably can see, I’m a fan of belts.) Hopefully, when I head off to art school next year, I’ll be able to learn more advanced techniques.
1. I recycled an old long prairie skirt that I really liked when I was twelve… I constructed the top part from scratch and joined the two. This is a really easy project– try it!
2. Used a Built by Wendy pattern, added a pocket, buttons. Kind of folky.
3. The colour’s a little off in this photo– it’s actually a really bright hot pink. It has a bubble elastic hem, side insets for extra poof, and I made the braided belt to go with it.
