\"Summer<\/p>\n

Summer is here! I mean like, for REAL it’s here… there’s nothing but hot days in our forecast. We even have\u00a0some triple digits coming within the next week. So now is a perfect time to talk about the\u00a0dress I made for Clara at Christmas<\/em>, right??<\/p>\n

\"SummerBut then again, gingham is always in season. And in Texas, so are sundresses!
\nI love Melissa’s Sundress month<\/a>. You know about this, right?<\/p>\n

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

Melissa Mora of Melly Sews<\/a> hosts it every June, and bloggers from everywhere share their different takes on sundresses. This is my second year to play along (with a little less neon<\/a> this time around), and I always find a ton of inspiration in the posts everyone contributes.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

Speaking of things I love? Dude. The Sophie Dress<\/a> from Simple Life Pattern Company.
\nOh my gosh, this is such a cute design. I’ve made 3!
\nSo far.
\nRemember my first one<\/a>? I haven’t blogged about the second, but you can see it in the Fiesta Fun look book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This time around, I made a few subtle adjustments to get the look I was going for. I made the neck ruffle slightly wider, and I played with the neckline curve a little. Do you do that too? Sometimes I just can’t help messing with a pattern when I’m making it again and again. It’s too fun!<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

I couldn’t decide whether to do the ruffle on the straight grain or on the bias, and this time I chose straight. But gingham on bias would be amazing.<\/em><\/p>\n

There’s so much to love about the design of this pattern. But what keeps bringing me back?….I’m alllll about the scoop neck with the button placket.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

I mean, how cute is that??
\nVery. So very.<\/p>\n

So how did I decide on a gingham theme for our Christmas card<\/a>? A very technical and deliberate method…<\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/www.madeeveryday.com\/?p=24852&preview=true\"Basically I realized\u00a0that Lucy already had a gingham dress, and\u00a0Casey and Owen already had gingham ties<\/a>. Haah! OK and\u00a0I wanted a gingham skirt. Win-win. Win.<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/p>\n

As a bonus, I finally got to play around with gingham color blocking, something I’ve wanted to do for forever.\u00a0And Clara ended up with another adorable Sophie sundress that she’s getting a ton of wear from.
\nHappy Sundressing (and picnic-ing)!<\/p>\n
