Dress project on Sewing Republic

May 27, 2010, Nik

Looking for a super-cute garment you can make in just a couple hours? Try my Square Deal dress project that’s now on the Sewing Republic site. The dress is custom-made to your measurements and uses interlock knit for just the right fit. Make the dress as long or short as you like. It could make a great floor-length dress in a fancy knit or even a tissue knit for the perfect beach-ready frock.
