Creation: Off The Shoulder Dress

Fabrics Used: Double Gauze, Blue

The Visionary: Suzannah, Create/Enjoy

Our Thoughts: Double gauze couldn't have been a more perfect choice for this off-shoulder dress. Since it is so lightweight, it is perfect for the summer and the polka-dots just add to the cuteness!

Creation:Lime Green Maxi Dress

Fabrics Used: Lime Green Interlock Knit

The Visionary: Suzannah, Create/Enjoy.com

Our Thoughts:  Suzannah at Create/Enjoy.com made a cool summer maxi dress using the Lime Green Interlock from Harmony Art

I've been wanting to incorporate more brights into my wardrobe for aaaaaaages, but it's hard to find the right colors at the fabric stores. I picked this  lime green interlock knit yardage from Organic Cotton Plus and it's   organic, too! It's super nice, much softer than I remember basic interlock knits being from when I was a kid and my mom made my doll clothes out of them. ;)

Creation:  Pretty Floral Dress

Fabrics Used: Evelyn & Janette Twill

The Visionary: Kelly, CutCutSew

Our Thoughts:  Kelly at CutCutSew.com made a pretty summer dress that's just right for an elegant garden party.

Browsing the site, I immediately gravitated towards the organic cotton sateen- there were lots of great prints and solids but I was drawn to these pretty flowers. It is super soft and drapey, and I decided it had to be an Anna Dress.

Creation: Hand stamped maxi dress

Fabrics Used: Natural Stretch Jersey

The Visionary: Justine, SewCountryChick.com

Our Thoughts:  Justine at SewCountryChick used her creativity to make a unique sundress and it looks great.

A couple of years ago, I bought some wooden stamps at The Rose Bowl Flea Market.I got a few yards of beautiful natural colored organic cotton with lycra from Organic Cotton Plus. It was an undyed, organic cotton jersey with just a hint of lycra, in a perfect weight for dresses.  I absolutely love the quality. Being organic, as well as cotton, it was a perfect canvas to hand dye and stamp. Polyester blends don’t take dye very well. This was the perfect opportunity to finally try out my Indian fabric stamp!
