Darcy<\/a> is here today from the Advisors Circle<\/a>. She recently stopped by to share her favorite Oliver + S pattern<\/a> and her Liesl + Co. Terrace Dress<\/a>. Now she\u2019s here to show you how to color block the Cartwheel Wrap Dress. Take it away Darcy!<\/em><\/p>\n

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

Hello everyone! I\u2019m here sharing an easy change you can make to the Cartwheel Wrap Dress<\/a> pattern to make it extra special: color blocking!<\/p>\n

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

I used solid color fabrics to make this one but you could just as easily color block with different patterned fabrics for a fun look as well.<\/p>\n

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

To make this change, I started with a pattern that I had already tested and I knew fit her (for my daughter, I started with a size 4 and added 3 inches in length using one of the methods from the Building Block Dress Book<\/a>). I knew I wanted three sections, so after drawing in the seam allowances, I measured down the front center and divided that number into three to get my three color blocked sections.<\/p>\n

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

From here I used the Building Block Dress Book directions on color blocking to draw the new lines and add seam allowances to the new cuts. After cutting out my fabric, I reassembled the skirt panels and then followed the rest of the directions for the dress exactly!<\/p>\n

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

I love how this one turned out. The dress it\u2019s self is really fun to sew. When you are sewing the shoulder and underarm area, it feels like a bit of sewing magic! If you\u2019ve done it, you know what I mean!<\/p>\n

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

Thanks for reading today! I can\u2019t wait to see what everyone else is doing with the pattern as well!<\/p>\n

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

Thank you Darcy!<\/em><\/p>\n
