I had this seersuckerish fabric in my stash, and I had been thinking it&#8217;d be nice to have just a simple shift, not too snug and not too humongous. I used an extremely technical approach wherein I placed different pattern pieces sporting various elements I desired on top of the fabric. In this case I wanted French seams (super easy! No set-in sleeves!) and a basic dress. <\/p>\n<p>I was going to make bias tape, but then I remembered I had some readymade bias tape that came WITH ADHESIVE on it, so you just stick it on! I like the contrast it provides in the neckline and armholes. Okay, so I started putting this together and quickly realized it was going to be too fitted. I contemplated starting over, but I had already completed the neckline and didn&#8217;t want to waste it, so I just chopped off the top part and added a new piece for the bottom! Easy peasy! And I didn&#8217;t even try to match up the plaid because, well, I am lazy, and I didn&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very comfortable and came out pretty much as I had hoped, plus I wore it on a 90+-degree day and felt fine. I have also come to realize that I am a lazy and impatient seamstress who needs immediate gratification. So, you won&#8217;t be finding many tailored outfits around here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weather forecast called for one final hot week, so I whipped up a summer shift one afternoon.
