New York dress

I recently sewed a summer dress for my daughter. This project is so simple but had been incubating since last year! šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø We discussed the design she wanted (sleeveless and knee length) and bought interlock at Joann’s. She loved the stripes and dots, thought it was so sophisticated, ā€œlike the kind of dress you’d see in New York!ā€ (New York, I love it!)

I chose the racerback dress from Hey June Handmade, a great free pattern. The biggest size was too small for my tall 9-year-old, so I graded it up another size (winged it).

The dress is super easy to assemble, only three pieces. I cut and applied the neckband and armscye bindings by using Sarah Veblen’s foolproof technique. Coverstitched the hem and that was it. It’s a winner!

Stripe matching on the seams!
