Summer breeze makes me feel fine... you too? (If you're old like me you get the yacht rock reference. 😂)

And every gal in summer needs a breezy summer dress. This pattern is perfect for those who have a bit of beginner garment sewing experience. If you're ready to make your first dress and learn some fun, new skills along the way like bias binding and shirring, this is a great class for you. 

In this advanced beginner class you'll make the perfect breezy summer dress, Strawberry Shortcake Dress

From the pattern maker Sew, Bake, Make: The Strawberry Shortcake Dress and Top is a pattern designed for woven fabrics. It features a slight scoop neck and is fitted with elastic through the waist.

View A features a bias bound neckline and has two strap options- tie straps or adjustable straps with sliders. It also features a shirred waistline. It has a curved drop waist, full gathered midi skirt and wide 2” hem.
View B features a split bust with adjustable ties, and exposed elasticated channels at the waist. It also features a shirred waistline. It has a curved drop waist, full gathered midi skirt and wide 2” hem.

You'll receive your pattern at the first class when you'll choose your size and make any pattern modifications. You can also use the time to cut out. 

Skills you will learn:

  • How to sew a gathered skirt
  • How to sew bias binding
  • How to do shirring
  • How to sew a bodice and skirt and sew them together

Skills Expected:
Beginner sewing skills and understanding of how to read a sewing pattern and tracing and cutting one. If you've made some other simple sewn projects, or other beginner garments, you're good to go.
