Have you heard about the new shop over at Project Run & Play? Past participants designs have become patterns that are now available for purchase. Now you can shop for those amazing designs all in one place! There are 17 patterns in the shop and new ones will be added as designers continue to create them.
As part of the Grand Opening celebration, select patterns will be featured in a blog tour and available on sale for the whole month of July. I had the opportunity to sew the Squared Away Tunic & Dress by Winter Wear Designs.
This pattern is a clean lined classic piece that is great for year round wear. With options of short sleeve or 3/4 sleeve you have coverage for all temperatures. The square front neck and pleated skirt keep the lines simple with great detail. The skirt has a high low hem line and can be made in a dress length or as a tunic to pair with jeans, jeggings, or leggings. The dress length is designed to hit above the knee in front and below the knee in back.
I made the dress with some double gauze purchased from my local fabric shop in a size 5 lengthened to a size 7. The fit is great and I love the pleats and hemline. The pieced neckline really allows for some creativity in pairing different fabrics, although I used the same fabric for this particular dress.
There is also a giveaway (ending August 1) with some fantastic prizes! There will be five (random) winners for the following prizes:
