Have you visited the Flickr group<\/a> lately? Quite a few of the spring patterns have been popping up, and I thought it was time to highlight a few more of them. And we finally had a chance to photograph S in her spring dresses, so I’ll show you those as well.<\/p>\n

For S’s Hide-and-Seek Dress<\/a> I chose a lilac\/orchid colored linen from Gray Line Linen, with one of Anna Maria’s fabrics as the yoke.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"HideAndSeekFront\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was fun to match the buttonholes to the fabric for this dress. Can you see on this photo that each buttonhole is a different color to match its moth?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"HideAndSeekBack\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Purple is a popular choice for the Hide-and-Seek Dress! Unbeknownst to me, Kristin<\/a> was also sewing the Hide-and-Seek Dress in this purple chambray. It’s such a sweet dress with the Liberty print yoke.<\/p>\n

I dug deep into my stash for the fabric for this Garden Party Dress<\/a>. I bought it several years ago and can’t remember where, but it’s extremely light and sheer, with a slubby texture.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"GardenParty\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I chose the pale pink as trim because the print is so delicate and sweet and I didn’t want to overpower it. The dress is underlined, meaning that I cut each pattern piece from my fabric and from a cotton lawn, and then I basted the layers together and treated them as a single fabric when constructing the dress. Only the sleeves are left sheer, although I don’t think you can tell in this photo. I think this may be S’s Easter Dress. She loves it so much.<\/p>\n

Have you seen the smocked Garden Party Dress that the ladies at Frances Suzanne<\/a> sewed? When I was designing this pattern these two women came to mind because I suspected they would want to smock it. And it turned out great!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As long as we’re talking about smocking, you must also see this stunning smocked version<\/a> of the Garden Party Dress. Isn’t that gorgeous?<\/p>\n

I also love Sanae’s version<\/a> of this pattern. The colors and scale of this print are wonderful!<\/p>\n

More Garden Party Dresses and Blouses: 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>, 4<\/a>, 5<\/a> and 6<\/a>. (I adore that last photo from Nicole!)<\/p>\n

And let’s not forget the babies. Kristin<\/a> sewed this Lullaby Layette Jacket for her nephew, and I love how she gave it a masculine spin with the flannel lining.<\/p>\n
