The Edelweiss Dress: A New Pattern + Giveaway! {giveaway closed}

May 6, 2013 By crafterhours 128 Comments

I’m very excited to introduce my next pattern, The Edelweiss Dress!

This is a cute little sundress, featuring an empire waisted bodice, ruffled straps, an easy buttoned back, and a gathered skirt in sizes 18 months – 10 years!

I think it’s perfect for casual spring days at the playground or you can use fancy fabrics to dress it up for a summer wedding too!  Have fun mixing prints between the skirt, bodice, and ruffles, or go for a color-blocked look.

 

My favorite part of this dress is the small area in the front center bodice that is perfect for featuring a favorite fabric, a piece of embroidery, a vintage hanky, or really anything that is special to you and deserves to be front and center.  The bodice pattern also includes a pieced option in case you only have a small scrap of special fabric.  In this version, I used the mini-tutorial included with the pattern to create a chevron effect with stripes.

There is also a tunic-length option for the girl who prefers to wear it with leggings, a cute pair of shorts, or her favorite skinnies.

As always, this Hey June pattern comes complete with a 40 page .pdf document including:
– directions for printing and tiling the pattern
– notes on getting the best fit and how to do minor alterations
– many different suggestions to save you paper and ink
– a full sized pattern in sizes 18 months – 10 years – just print and cut the size you need, no tracing necessary!
– clear digitally illustrated sewing directions for every step

You can get the Edelweiss Dress pattern today over at the Hey June shop!

BUT, if you’re feeling lucky, you can enter below for a chance to win the Edelweiss Dress pattern along with the Narita Dress and the Greenpoint Cardigan patterns!

Just leave a comment below telling us how you know spring has sprung in your area.  We’ll draw a winner on May 10.  Open to anyone in the world with an email address, void where prohibited, one comment per person.  Please make sure you leave your email address in your comment if it isn’t linked to your profile!

    Love the new dress, it is adorable! Spring has sprung all the flowers have already bloomed and the school schedule tells me the end of school is near, however my 50 degree weather is telling me otherwise!

    Spring has sprung here as we are not having any more cool weather. We never really get a winter, maybe a couple of freezing days but Thant is about it. The butterflies and humming birds are back in the garden along with many species of birds as they start heading back north. The wild parrots are back. And the best part are the baby birds are starting to stretch their wings and fly out of their nests. The straggler getting a little nudge from momma as if to say come on get a move on now we don’t have all day to wait on you, we have places to go and things to see LOL. It’s so cute.

    Spring has sprung – It can be warm enough for a skirt & sandals when I go to work in the early morning, but FREEZING by the time recess rolls around. (I teach.)

    Unfortunately in Sacramento, the first sign of spring is allergies! Most people who live here develop them and just about everyone I know is miserable for the first 2-3 weeks of spring.

    Daffodils. Although They usually peak out as the snow is having it’s last hooray and I am always worried that they will die because of it. They never do and spring comes quickly after that.

    We had about 2 days of spring and have jumped straight into summer! 10 days ago we had a heavy snowfall and very cold temps, and then this past week there have been days hot enough to go out in shorts and play with water in the yard. The tulips started pushing their leaves out of the snow about 2 weeks ago and the heat is making them bloom very quickly, even before they are very tall. Central Alberta is very strange – we always say, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.”

    Thanks for the chance! I have two giveaways happening too: http://www.craftyhour.com

    Spring has sprung cold here. I know the people up north would laugh at me for saying that but we have had highs in the lower 60s. That is around 20 degrees lower than it is here normally. I grew up in the south and don’t ever remember it being so chilly in May.

    I know spring has sprung in my neck of the woods when everyone breaks out their shorts and flip flops. Down here in FL, we try to just wait out the short winter so we can put away our 4 sweaters and break out our 20 pairs of shorts! :)

    Spring sprang almost two weeks ago and then mid-last week we ended up with 3″+ of snow on the ground (after whatever melted). Temps will be cool this weekend but I think spring is finally here. At least all my flowers survived the cold snap

    When the blossom, daffies and tulips finally put in an appearance… The hint of spring is when it gets too warm for my down jacket. Thanks for the chance, you’ve got some lovely patterns!
