 Hey guys, Abby here. Just wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things I've made so far this summer. First up is the Grainline Alder Shirt Dress. I chose Vue Bee, which features a gathered skirt. I sewed it up with some Robert Kaufman Chambray, which is a great greenish color chambray. I actually cut this project out last summer, but didn't get a chance to sew it up before summer ended. I'm so glad I pulled it out this summer because I just love how it turned out. I didn't open the instruction packet for this project. I actually used Jen's Sew Along on her website, which has really great pictures for every step to help anybody of any sewing level sew it up. The Delphine Skirt from Tilly and the Buttons Love At First Stitch book. I sewed this one up with a really fun, bright, summery cotton-dobby fabric. I added some lace applique to the front. I actually have a video where I've talked about some tips on how to sew lace applique, which I will link below. I love how this simple A-line skirt allows you to embellish it in many different ways. This is also a really great skirt for beginners. It's only a few pattern pieces and Tilly has really thorough directions in her book. Last up, I have the Marta Blouse by Republic du Chiffon. I sewed this one with some gorgeous eyelet chambray from Style Maker Fabrics. I wasn't sure if the chambray fabric was going to work for this top since it is a heavier fabric, but I really love how it played up the fullness of the top and the fullness of the ruffle skirt. So that's it. I hope you guys have enjoyed watching. I'd love to hear about what you've been sewing up this summer in the comments below. I'll see you guys next time.
