Made from the Easy-Sew Sundress pattern in Sew Beautiful issue #119 (baby on cover with Dorset feather stitches dress), this is one of my granddaughter’s favorites. Being ever mindful (well, almost “ever”) of the busy life my daughter-in-law lives, it is a true wash and wear dress.
With green and white Imperial batiste, polycotton blend pink gingham check and a unique poly machine cross stitch insertion (available soon from the JaniceFergusonSews.com store), it goes right from the washer and dryer to the hanger.
The gingham bias bound the armscyes and made the ties.  It was also turned into a tube and threaded through the beading on either side of the vertical yoke trim.  Then it filled the Swiss bridging between the yoke and the skirt.
Finally, gingham bordered the cross stitch trim in the skirt’s fancyband. This is such a comfortable summer dress for a little Florida girl. Surely it will be worn frequently.
