Bungalow Quilting

Bungalow Quilting - The Uptown in Any Town

Nothing says Sweetness like a Floral Mixed with Gingham

May 28, 2025 by Judy

Haven’t you always wanted to try to make a sweet little summer dress? I love this pattern for several reasons. It can be made dressy enough for an event like a wedding, but it can also be dressed way down. Simply eliminate the bow, and make it out of some fun summer fabric with popsicles or ice cream cones, and you have something that can be worn with shorts to the park. Make it in a shorter length so that the leggings or shorts underneath can show out, and you have a fun playful article of summer fun.

The other reason that I love it is because it’s easy enough for beginners. I sometimes have to choke on my words when I say “no zipper” and “no buttonholes” because I have been doing them for 40 years. But not everyone has. Zippers and buttonholes are not difficult. But, if you are just starting out, you want to make something and cover all of the basic concepts first. This dress does that. So https://www.etsy.com/listing/4311457379/easy-breezy-summer-dress-pattern-for?ref=shop_home_active_1&logging_key=30d721ae3bd9731040d6c78ea3c66954f6c6cd63%3A4311457379

That’s the link that will take you right over to the spot in the shop where this pattern lives! You will find out that you will use it over and over and over again.
