Several months ago Target did a collaboration with Stoney Clover Lane X. It was a line of candy-colored accessories and clothing. At first glance I was not impressed with the line, but I did love the colors. Recently, on one of my parlays thru the clearance section at Target, I found a blue linen dress destined for the charity shops from that line. After checking the width of the garment it had enough yardage to be re-purposed, and I knew just the pattern I would use. It was purchased for $12. Linen is quite expensive these days, so I have been on the hunt for ready-made linen garments that I could upcycle. Of course they must be priced right.
Once the pattern was laid out, it was evident that I would need every inch of fabric to make the sundress. After much deliberation, it was decided that I would use the front of the dress to create the back panel and the back to make the front. The dress was short so I could not remove the hem. And, here it is. . . .
It was an easy make because I made several dresses from the same pattern. As a matter of fact, this is the 5th version made and the shortest. The color is perfect and the quality of the linen will work for this Hot Gyal Summer.
