****Join us for the Daphne Dress Sew Along August 9th-13th!*****
Have you found a basic pattern that you just love and want to make one in every color? That's how I feel about the pattern I used for the popular green striped dress. (By the way, thanks for all the great comments!)
The problem is, how boring would it be to make the same pattern over and over. Your wardrobe wouldn't be very fun. Here's my tip of the day: Go ahead and use that same great fitting pattern but just make some small variations. Embellish it or change a feature.
To change up this pattern I added this fun pocket and put on a heart. The girl adores hearts. I also omitted the elastic empire waist.
Oh, and did I mention I am using up my stash? This pink piece of fabric wasn't quite large enough for the dress. No worries. I think this works just fine.
And with leggings to match, what more could a girl want?
These were super easy leggings. I used the LBB pattern. I finished the bottom with a rolled hem and added some elastic up the side on the bottom. Quick, easy, cute, comfy.
And, in case you forgot what the green dress looked like…
Can you tell those are from the same pattern? What is your favorite way to embellish a pattern?
