bloomsnbugs+28 Pumpkin Pie Dress Sewing Tutorial

Hello there! This is Anshu from Blooms And Bugs. I’m back with another dress pattern and tutorial perfect for fall.

Ever since I have drafted a peasant dress pattern, I have been playing around with different design elements to make the most of it. Here is a cute dress made with mixing a bunch of Clothworks collections ( Suzette, Picnic Pals, Safari Sweet) and adding in some fun details like ruffles, belt, easy appliques etc.

Supplies:

Coordinating fabrics in different prints

I chose the following fabrics:

Suzette for bodice and ruffle at the hem – half yard

Picnic Pals for Sleeves and belt fabric – half yard

Safari Sweet for skirt – half yard

Orange felt fabric

Approximate time: 2 hours

Skill Level: Beginner

Hello Clothworks readers, this is Anshu again from Blooms And Bugs. Today I brought along this little flutter sleeved dress with a twist.

So I wanted to make a dress for missy with Safari Sweet Fabrics ( By Alyssa Thomas for Clothworks) I just received. Before I could take a good look, missy found the green animals print fabric and decided that it was going to be her dress. But then I looked at all the fabrics and found that I loved Coral Shrubs print the most. Since I hate having to choose between cute and cute, I decided to use both and make the dress reversible. Problem solved!

Here’s how I made it.

Enjoy these projects sent in by sewers, quilters and crafters!

Baby Quilt using Safari Sweet by Alyssa Thomas of Penguin + Fish
Made by Maria in Plymouth, Massachusetts. She said she made a mistake and put borders on, but then decided to do it everywhere. I know how that goes!! That looks like an accident worth making again.
Maria’s got two favorite quilt shops–one is a store she hits on business trips in Maine: Mainely Quilts The other is Quilt Essentials, in Auburn, Maine.

Composition Book using Nature’s Walk by Leere Alrich. Pattern: Composition Covers by Indygo Junction
Made by local sewer extraordinaire, Jean Seamster (that name says it all!!)
