Stripes

Yes, I know. This does not look like a sundress. What can I say, I  am easily distracted. And there are so many cute versions of this pattern at patternreview.com I just had to try it. 
So I decided to use one of the new cotton fabrics and get myself  some instant gratification. The pattern instructions are very straigthforward; I did use bias tape instead of self fabric because I did not have enough fabric to cut those long strips. The twisty detail at the collar turned out to be a bit trying. I guess it would be easier to do with a softer fabric like seersucker or a knit. I think I will make this top again; maybe the version with the armhole detail. As soon as I got my camera out the dogs came over to investigate. They really don't like to be left out and Jesse just had to be in the photo. :)
