Tutorial: Candy A-line dress with scallop neck detail

July 7, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Nette from Nette Vivante guest blogs in the Fun in the Sun[Dress} series at iCandy Handmade with a free pattern and tutorial for making her Candy dress. I am so in love with this dress!! It’s so fresh, and so retro at the same time. The loose-fitting A-line dress has a high neck in the front, and a scoop neck in the back. And the entire neckline is edged with a contrast scallop detail. Go to the post to get the free pattern and tutorial for making one.

(Her pattern is available in only one size – roughly a Burda size 36. If you need a different size, you could use her pattern pieces as a guide to adapt an A-line dress pattern that fits you.)

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
