I adore orange and I also adore this super sweet Poppy Dress from A Lemon Squeezy Home! The vibrant colors are so perfect for summer – or you could even take it into autumn with a cardigan. Love it!
Supplies:
- fabric (how much depends on your measurements you’ll get below) **Please note: thicker fabrics and doubled layers tend to shirr a lot less, so the thinner your fabric, the better it will shirr**
- orange thread
- thread matching fabric
- elastic thread
- marking tool, optional
- felt (or other fabric—You will want to pre-wash your felt and see how it reacts to washing, and also any shrinkage that may occur. Hers was just the cheap stuff from Walmart)
- lighter
- tweezers
- fusible interfacing (she didn’t use any, but it might be good to back the sewn-on poppies)
Skill level:
Advanced beginner.
