My August sewing project - a pink dress, printed with red strawberries, white strawberry blossoms, and green leaves.

The waistband and corded piping at the hem are a denser raspberry print, and the knife-pleated ruffle at the hem is dark green with tiny darker green leaves. There is a plain pink bias binding around the V neck and narrower bias binding in the same pink around the edges of the short circle sleeves.

The dress has a zippered front closure. There are two patch pockets on the skirt, with strawberry button fasteners. The skirt is a half circle and, with the ruffle, falls to calf length.

This vivid pink calf-length dress has turquoise roses embellishing the neckline, hem, cuffs, sleeves, and shoulders. The dress has long sleeves, a square neckline, and a tapered waist with a stomach pocket.

Short sleeved circle skirt dress, with crossover bodice extending to form a double layer skirt. One side of stomach pocket opens at the crossover edge.

This dress has a denim yoke top and patch pockets, and a full skirt made from diagonal panels in a pastel rainbow - pink rather than red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. 

I think it came out looking a bit like an Easter egg, which is cute.

This green calf-length dress has black roses embellishing the neckline, hem, cuffs, sleeves, and shoulders. The dress has long sleeves, a square neckline, and a tapered waist with a stomach pocket.

Halloween Blouse complete! Only took ... seven months, five if you don’t count the gap in the middle where I stopped working on it after realizing it wouldn’t be ready by Halloween 2022. 

A handsewn button-up shirt printed in Halloween-themed novelty fabrics. The shirt front and inside collar are printed with small leaves, the yoke, sleeve cuffs, and undercollar are printed with candy corn, the sleeves are printed with spiderwebs, and the shirt back, collar flap, and patch pockets are printed with pumpkins.
