We\u2019ve got a treat for you today. Kristin from Skirt as Top is back! You\u2019ll remember her fantastic tutorials, including How to Sew a Welt Pocket<\/a>, Beach Bum Sunny Day Shorts<\/a>, and Reversible Rayon Roller Skate Dress<\/a>. She\u2019s joining in on the Building Block Dress<\/a> book tour and we couldn\u2019t be more pleased.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi everyone! I’m so happy to be back here on the Oliver + S blog sharing this dress I made for my daughter, who is now 8 and has finally grown into a size 6! She picked this design out of the book and has a couple more earmarked for me to sew next.<\/p>\n

The release of the Building Block Dress is very exciting. I was a tester and am so impressed with this amazing resource that Liesl has written. It’s a gift to those of us who like to sew specific garments we have floating around our heads, or want to get the fit just right, but are a bit intimidated by any pattern alteration instructions other than Liesl’s. After my testing experience many months ago, I found myself applying the techniques I learned in the Building Block Dress to other patterns I have been sewing. It’s a valuable tool to have in your sewing toolbox and I’m always so grateful to Liesl for sharing her knowledge with us.<\/p>\n

We would love to see photos of the clothing you make from the Building Block Dress book. Don\u2019t forget to tag your Instagram photos with #oliverands<\/a> and #buildingblockdress<\/a>, so you can share your creations with other appreciative seamstresses.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
