I went a little out of my comfort zone with this years birthday dress because…. sleeves! I just love the silhouette and sophisticated casual style of this pattern, plus the opportunities for color blocking so I had to give it a try. I also love that it comes with a slip pattern as well! I’d love to make another one in a slinkier fabric like a rayon or viscose – definitely still color blocked though!

Happy Sewing,
Just love this! Wondered how much fabric you needed of each colour block, to make the whole garment?
Thx!
I’m not really sure! I had all the fabrics in my stash. Id say at least a yard each?
