Ruffles & Plaid


In January, I stumbled upon a sewing blogger (Leslie from Creative Chicks) who claimed to have found the perfect pattern and I even dedicated an entire blog post to all the amazing versions she created (see them HERE). Well, I finally tried the pattern (Simplicity 4927) with a plaid polyester suiting and cotton ruffle. I'm hooked on this pattern! Super easy. The only complaint I have is that I would prefer a zipper in back so it could be more tailored. With such a small back opening, the dress needs to be baggier than I'd prefer to be able to get it on the child.

Here is my version:




I am trying this again with a emerald green wool with gems around the neckline. I'll also add a zipper to the next version.

Here is the pattern:

I don't think it is in print any longer but you can by the downloadable pattern HERE.
