Tutorial: Girl’s modern checkerboard dress

April 7, by Anne Weaver. 2 Comments

checkerboardRachel from Nest Full of Eggs shows how she made this modern checkerboard dress for her daughter.  She used the Oliver+S Roller Skate Dress pattern for the dress, with on seam side pockets using Freshly Picked’s free pocket pattern. Her tutorial shows how she pieced the pink and white checkerboard fabric and how she modified the pattern to work with the checkerboard print.  Check out how perfectly all of her piecing and cutting lines up!  Go to her blog for the how-to.
