Here is the next installment of the \u201cMy Favorite Oliver + S Pattern<\/a>\u201d series. Today we have Erin<\/a> who is going to share a bit about her favorite and show us the many fantastic versions she has made. Thanks so much for being here Erin!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hey there Oliver + S fans!<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe I am here to talk to you about my favorite Oliver + S pattern. I\u2019ve been sewing (and blogging with my sis) now for 5 years, and the first garment I ever made was :::drumroll::: the Popover Sundress<\/a>! I feel like I\u2019ve come a long way from that first dress. I remember that I decided not<\/strong> to cut my strap pieces on the bias (shhh\u2026 don\u2019t tell Liesl!). I didn\u2019t know what the heck \u2018on the bias\u2019 was, and I probably thought it would waste more fabric. Of course, once my daughter tried it on, I could see why I should\u2019ve done that. However, it was still adorable on her, and it became my second blog post<\/a>. Check it out!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

What I love about this pattern is that it\u2019s such a great jumping off point for other variations. I really like easy, unfussy clothing for my kids. I also don\u2019t like sewing projects that take hours upon hours. The Popover is a great beginner pattern, but it\u2019s also one that I\u2019ve come back to so many times over the last several years. It\u2019s become my old standby! This next one is made mostly from knit fabric. I pieced the yoke together using a bunch of woven scraps. My girl loved<\/strong> this one<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you like to repurpose old clothing? The Popover is perfect for it. This tunic version<\/a> is made from my friend\u2019s favorite old dress. I gathered it at the center and attached it under the yoke. I also kept the original hem. So fast!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe award for the most-worn Popover dress goes to this one<\/a>. I pieced the yoke together using some favorite colors, made the skirt piece super wide and gathered it at the yoke. I also lined this dress with the lining from an old bridesmaid dress since the fabric was a teensy bit see-through. My girl went bananas for it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I decided to whip up one more Popover Dress the other day for this post. I wanted something flowy, and light, and soft.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

A drop-waisted, lavender double-gauze version to be exact!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I simply cut the dress pattern, mimicking the curve at the hem, a little more than halfway down to create the flounce pattern piece. I added a couple of inches of length to that bottom piece, and then cut my fabric as wide as it was. I gathered it all up, and then attached it to the top pattern piece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Can you tell she likes it?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I love that you can use up any special scraps you may have for the yoke. I adore this Hello Bear fabric by Bonnie Christine. I slipped in a little golden yellow mini pom-pom trim for good measure.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ve enjoyed seeing my Popovers through the years, and I also hope you\u2019ll stop by Hungie Gungie<\/a> and take a look around. Thanks for having me!<\/p>\n
