Summer Sewing 5/5 (Nautical Dresses)
More from the 'fabric scraps from garage sales' collection: it started with me finding that scrap of light blue fabric with little navy blue polka dots and tiny white anchors and going 'that's perfect for a doll dress'. Never mind that there was maybe a little over a fat quarter of fabric in about 4 different pieces, some of which were 2" wide at best. I can work with it.
A search through the pattern collection and the rest of my fabric stash, and I've found the coordinating fabric of navy with white dots, and two patterns, the Heritage sundress, and MatildaJo's 'Inspired by Zooey' dress. Now, I definitely did not have enough fabric for the sundress as the pattern was written, so I used the skirt from the LJC Aspen dress with the bodice from the sundress, and cut those from the light blue fabric. There was just enough of the light blue left after that to make the contrast underskirt and pockets for the other pattern.
All in all, a win.
