Flip this pattern: Flip #2

Of all my planned flips, I am really happy that I got this one done. I had a lot of fun with this one!

Once again, starting with my Colorblock dress pattern, I used the lining pieces from the original pattern to redraft this little jacket/bolero.

I changed the back to a solid piece and the front was cut down the center. I added a layer of batting between the outer and lining fabrics and quilted the entire thing.

I used a soft felted wool for the outer and a organic white and yellow floral cotton for the lining. I had some extra yellow lined bias binding from Flip #1, that used to bind the edges and neckline

I love the modern feel to this bolero

 

A little something to cover up the arms, or to wear layered for added warmth.

I really love how the quilting gives it an outerwear look, without being too heavy

Flip this pattern: Flip #1 (...a little late)

There have been a whole lotta sickies around here, so this post is coming waaaay later then is should! :)

I was hoping to join in the Flip this pattern series, much earlier in the month, and had quite a few versions in mind. But, because life happens, I ended up with only two flips to show. (flip #2 coming tomorrow)

Using the Colorblock dress as a starting point, I created a cute Easter dress for my oldest to wear

Using only the lining pieces from the original pattern, I redrafted the hem to be hi-low. I finished the hem with bias binding and I also put in a zipper rather then a button back closure

I used a really soft, yellow linen. I added some cascading rolled flowers made from strips of linen and embellished some with small pearls. The flowers twist all the way from the lower front to the middle back of the dress.

I think it turned out really cute, and I love the all the texture you get from the fraying linen.

I think this would look great as a simple flower girl dress, and by using the same fabric for both the dress and the flowers, it does not look too busy

Stay tuned for Flip #2 coming tomorrow.....
