Testing, testing, testing…

Testing completed.  Hypothesis proven… you can hopscotch in Oliver + S’s Hopscotch Dress!

The next item on my beach holidays sewing list is completed and Miss A is very happy.  She agreed try her new dress on after school today (although bribery might have been involved to get these photos!) and she is still wearing it.

The Oliver + S patterns are a little more expensive than some, but I think they are a good investment. The designs are lovely, the patterns well drafted and they include clear, detailed instructions.  I made a a size 5 with the length of the size 7 and it’s a perfect fit for my petite school girl.

The thing I love about this pattern (well, apart from the all the options – top, dress, short sleeve, long sleeve and a woven skirt) is cross-over neckline and the gathering under the yoke.  My yoke seam is a little curvier than I might like, but there is always next time.  And yes, there will be a next time.  In fact, I think there will be MANY next times!

The sleeves and hems have been finished with a twin needle.  I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I love my twin needle.

Selfish sewing next.  My Frocktails dress is calling me.  Time to change my jersey needle for a silk one…
