I had this awesome hawaiian print in my stash, so I pulled it out, with some coordinating Kona
I decided to try the simple dress again, without the shirring, but with knotted straps.
pretty cute, right? I mean, the straps are too long, but that’s better than too short.

| she’s feeling around for pockets |
unfortunately, I didn’t have enough leftover fabric to match prints, and red pockets would cover the pretty flowers, so I left the pockets off.
 |
| very unhappy to discover the lack…. |
CLEARLY, this was the wrong decision.
 |
| TAKE IT OFF ME! |
Luckily, I had planned ahead, and was able to reverse the dress.
 |
| ahhhhhh,,,, |
doesn’t she look beachy-chic?
 |
| much more relaxed. |
to break up the plain solid red, I appliqued the pockets with flowers cut from the hawaiian print scraps.
 |
| pretty pockets |
I used Steam-a-Seam 2 to hold them in place, and then free-motion-stitched all over the whole thing, to make sure it all stays down during the repeated washings I’m SURE it’ll have to endure.
