have some sewing fun ladies and imagine all the possibilities & variations that you can use to make this dress.  it's fabulous!  i had so much fun making mine and hope to do another one in knit asap.  you all know how much i love patterns that offer customization and ways to switch things up based on your personal preference & dana does this perfectly for this pattern.  there's something to suit everyone & all ages plus it's also a great project to use for knits & elastic thread practice.  you can find my review of the pattern and the dress i made here.


so get your knits & stretch ready!  you're going to have lots of fun! i promise.  sewing knits & stretch are not as scary as you think.  also, make sure to check out all the fun stuff dana has going on at made right now too!  she's hosting a fabulous " design my header" contest that's been lots of fun to follow.
