I recently sewed a summer dress for my daughter. This project is so simple but had been incubating since last year! š¤¦š»āāļø We discussed the design she wanted (sleeveless and knee length) and bought interlock at Joannās. She loved the stripes and dots, thought it was so sophisticated, ālike the kind of dress youād 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 Veblenās foolproof technique. Coverstitched the hem and that was it. Itās a winner!






Looks great! And I love how she characterized the fabric!
