Going Casual: Jasper Sweatshirt Dress

Standard

I made this dress back in September during Selfish Sewing Week. This event, hosted by Imagine Gnats and Indiesew, encourages sewists to take time to sew for themselves. I don’t have a problem sewing for myself, but an excuse to sew something new is never a bad thing in my book.

Standard

I started on this project before I made the Jutland shorts, so I wanted to avoid a zipper fly for my first try. I was also drawn in by Colette’s fitting guide for these pants, and knew some hand holding was available if I needed help.
