Jujube Dress

I'm sure this is news to no one now, but LilyGiggle has reopened!  Four new patterns are making their debut this week.  I've managed to find time to make three of them so far.  The only one I have left to complete is the Sassafrass Skirt and I know I'm going to love it.  (Btw, it's featured on Pattern Revolution today in case you want to check that out!) 

If you are looking for a new pattern for fall, look no further.  The Jujube Dress is here and you need it! I can hardly stand how cute it is!  For my first test I used the Arizona line from Art Gallery Fabrics. This fabric---oh my!  I can't say enough about how much I love Art Gallery.  Their knits are so soft! 

  

This pattern has ruffles down the front, but I felt like the style of this fabric was more suited to a simple silhouette. So, I choose to leave off the ruffles.  

 

I love the drop waist!  It's so classic, and yet I haven't seen many patterns with a drop waist lately so I love that this is a little different.  

The Jujube Dress is a quick and easy sew.  From start to finish this dress took me less than 1 hour to complete.  My daughter loves the comfort of the knit bodice.  She said the twirly skirt made her feel like dancing.  

 

 

 One dress down, but I had to try those ruffles.  Thankfully more Art Gallery goodies came last week and they were perfect for this pattern. I LOVE to fish so when I saw this print I knew I had to have it. It's so sweet and girly and again, this knit is so very soft!  This fabric is from the Emmy Grace line from Art Gallery Fabrics.  I ordered it from one of my favorite fabric shops, 

Hawthorne Threads. 

Look at that sweet fabric!

 

And ruffles those ruffles--  We loves ruffles here in the south!

 

LilyGiggle's patterns all have an awesome new feature that allows you to print size 2-12 nested for paper saving. Or, if you only need one size, you can choose the layering option and just print the size you need!  Beth has also added a quick sewing guide in the beginning of each pattern for the more accomplished seamstress. Her patterns are also full of great tips for sewing with knits.
