Happy Sunday, Yummies!
Earlier this week, Amy from Badskirt invited me to submit pictures of the Ice Cream Dress I made back in April as inspiration. She and Kate from One Flew Over are hosting a sew-along for Oliver + S’s super cute dress and shirt, a modern update of a 1930’s dress Oliver + S owner/designer Liesl saw and loved.
After submitting our photos to the Ice Cream Social Flickr group and looking through the many other beautiful submissions in the Flickr group, I was inspired to sew another dress for my daughter. Mira’s third favorite color has always been yellow, and it looks better on her than her most favorite color, pink (I know, HUGGGGGE surprise) or most shades of her second favorite color, purple. This dress is made up in honey colored shot cotton and Anna Maria Horner’s Little Honey (Ink).
For the sew-along, which officially starts today with choosing your fabric, gathering your notions, and cutting out the pattern, I will not be making another garment for my daughter. Luckily, she is spoiled but not yet rotten, and we would like to keep it that way. Instead, my nieces will be receiving some sew-along love from their Auntie.
Want to join along? Though this is Day 1 of the Ice Cream Social, do not despair if you would like to be included. There are catch up days along the way. Take a look at the calendar above and delve in when you feel up for it. This pattern is pretty easy and very wearable for these scorchers we keep having in NYC right now.
Mira gave her Ice Cream Dress a road test yesterday (see action shot above). What do you think?
