Last year I sewed an Olivia Top pattern from Craftiness is not optional. I liked it very much and meant to sew more but never got around to it. When I saw this fabric in the shop though, I could straight away picture what I was going to make, et voila!
This time I opted for the sleeveless dress length. I thought about the short sleeved length but I wanted to use more of the orange bias tape to frame the bodice. I'm glad I did. The pattern has a funny way of attaching the bias tape. You sew them into rings first and then sew it over the sleeve holes. It was a little fiddly, but I generally find bias tape fiddly (I'm starting to get better...)
The dress was sewn together quickly and I think it's been nice to use some brighter colours ready for Summer. I made a size two and I think it will last her for a long time.
