Hello, folks! I’ve got something a little different today — a 1960’s inspired shift dress! This dress was made as part of Sew Your Hart Out September with Harts Fabric, along with Colette Patterns and Robert Kaufman fabrics. I wrote a tutorial on Harts’ site on how I made the retro button-on-belt featured on this dress. […]

Hello there, friends! It’s another lemon dress! This time a 1940’s iteration with the Decades of Style Dorothy Lara dress.

A Lemony Stripe 1950’s Dress [Vogue 8789]
Hello, friends! I’m so excited to share this dress! I’ve been wanting a lemon print dress for AGES and until recently, I haven’t seen many fabrics that I’ve liked with lemons on them.
