The Sewing Revival’s Fernbird Dress x 2

The Sewing Revival’s Fernbird Dress might be my favourite pattern this summer.

My first version had all the fun of mixing two patterned fabrics.

These two viscoses just wanted to be together. They are both from my local bricks and mortar fabric store, Spotlight.

I bought three metres of each fabric. Because I wasn’t sure what they’d end up as. Eye-roll required. As it turns out, most of the red and almost all of the other fabric have now been sewn into three garments.

This is a super easy pattern.

Totally love how this turned out. Get so many compliments every time I wear it. And I feel great in it every time I wear it.

So of course I made another Fernbird. Also using Spotlight viscose.

The back story to this one is that I specifically had this pattern in mind when I bought two fabrics to make it up in (not like my last post!) Two fabrics.. Because. Worked so well last time.

Yep. Totally good idea. But, see the dress?

The second fabric never made it.

And I’m not mad about it.

This is a fabulous dress pattern. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
