for the Oliver and S, Roller Skate Dress / Tunic.
for the Oliver and S, Roller Skate Dress / Tunic.
***************************************************************************
I’m a huge fan of Oliver+S sewing patterns having used them for 3.5 years now. Their sewing patterns are very well done, you learn how to sew by following them. I highly recommend them! For my Rollerskate Dress flip I created the Tricolor Chevron.
I loved High School geometry, can you tell? š I have really been enjoying working with: shapes, piecing, angles, matching up stripesā¦ fun, fun, fun! I created my own textile by cutting out strips of 3 different solid colored cotton fabrics and sewing them together to make striped fabric. I cut out the pattern pieces at a 45 degree angle, then sewed everything together.
The alterations I made to the Rollerskate Dress were: I went one size down, eliminated the elastic waistband, added on seam side pockets, and added .5 inch in length.
The inspiration for the tricolor textile I created came from photos from the Christian Siriano (Project Runway Season 4 winner) Resort 2014 collection.
A cute short dress for the summer to be at one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
Many thanks for including me in the “Flip this Pattern” series!
