Doin’ the Wave
I’m slowly but surely working my way through my stash of Farbenmix patterns. The Sasha is my latest accomplishment.
At first glance, it’s just a basic tiered twirly dress. But on closer inspection, you’ll notice the wavy tier and hem. Not so cut and dried anymore.
I had two yards of fabric on hand, two colorways of the same pattern. In my head, I could see how they would work with this pattern, and I’m delighted with the results.
It was a little bit of a challenge to sew. Those curves get me every time. I’m not the most patient of sew-ers. I am, however, quite handy with the seam ripper as a result of that impatience. Fortunately I didn’t have to do too much of that on this dress.
I think the results are worth it: a cute summery dress that makes my daughter smile.

Gorgeous! I have that pattern but haven’t tried it yet. Where do you get those metal clip thingies for the straps? (And what do you call them, besides my oh-so-technical term of “thingies”?)
