Project details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pattern used:<\/strong> Oliver+S Ice Cream Dress<\/a> and Kelli Fannin’s Unicorn block<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Fabric used:<\/strong>\u00a0Quilting cotton.<\/p>\n

Did the fabric work well?<\/strong> Yes. The fabric is sturdy enough that the bulk of the quilt block doesn’t cause the dress to droop.<\/p>\n

How did the sewing go?<\/strong> Adding a quilt block to the middle of a dress pattern was a bit intimidating, but I was determined to make it happen for my daughter’s first birthday dress.<\/p>\n

After sewing the unicorn block, I basted a piece of fabric to the back of it, and then pieced the dress fabric around the block. This created a large piece of fabric, from which I cut out the front panel as written in the pattern.<\/p>\n

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

There were a few extra seams to finish on the inside, but otherwise I made the dress exactly the same. I did lose 1\/4″ on the bottom of the block, since O+S seams are wider than traditional quilting seams. I made a pieced strip of the same rainbow of fabrics for the hemline to finish it off, taking advantage of the double-hem in the pattern to hide the seams.<\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong> Seeing the little sparkly unicorn as I sewed. It was so much fun to combine my love of quilting with making clothes for my daughters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
