We all know April Showers bring May Flowers so with that in mind, I thought it would be the perfect time to sew up some florals. So I decided to use Art Gallery Swifting Flora rayon challis from the Boho Fusion collection that I purchased from Punkin Threads. This was my first time sewing with rayon challis. It is slippery and has some stretch so make sure you check your measurements thrice when cutting. I also recommend using fine pins and a lot of clips to secure the fabric.

I made the new Sunflower dress. The sunflower is packed with options like knee, maxi length and skirt. It is so stylish and can be dressed up or down. I will be making several of these for two weddings we will be attending this summer. The dress has long sleeves, flutter sleeves and sleeveless option. I made the knee length with a modification to the ruffle on the bodice. $\"It\'s$

The modification was inspired by Vintage 1960\’s wrap dress. I was going for a style similar to Simplicity 7715.I achieved this look by sewing the ruffle right sides together. I press the seam towards the bodice and then topstitched along the ruffle to secure it in place. I am overall very pleased with how the dress came out. $\"Image$
