New Sewing Pattern Dress Sally – Sewing Instructions

sallyganz

Right before christmas I introduced a new pattern: Sewing Pattern Dress Sally. Now Sally is also available in English and for New Years Eve I have sewn Sally for myself and made some photos to give you a step-by-step photo tutorial.

Dress Sally is a posh wrapping dress with large pockets and a tulip skirt. It takes some time to sew Sewing Pattern Sally but it is quite easy to make with some sewing experience.

Have fun sewing and for all of you a good start in 2015!
