DIY Floral Gathered Waist Dress - Lou Box Dress Hack

Today I’m super excited to share a Lou Box Dress mashup with you. (If you follow me on Instagram, then you might recognize it from a couple of sneaky posts last week.) In case you’re not familiar with these patterns, the Lou Box Dress 1 and Lou Box Dress 2 are both based on the Lou Box Top (pretty obvs right?). The coolest part is that now that the dresses have had the sizing updated, all the pattern pieces can be mixed and matched for endless variations. I have been thinking about trying to calculate how many variations are possible but decided that would take away too much sewing time. ;)

Announcing! The relaunch of the Lou Box Dress patterns!

Announcing! The relaunch of the Lou Box Dress patterns!

Today we are announcing the relaunch of two patterns, the Lou Box Dress 1 and the Lou Box Dress 2. These patterns have been updated to match the sizing of the Lou Box Top, for bust/hip measurements 32-58 inches (81-147cm) and a height of 5’10”. The pattern pieces of the LBT and LBD patterns can be mixed and matched for lots and lots of variations. Watch the video below to get all the details and see a few samples of the different views in motion.

Introducing our first ever fabric collection

Introducing our first ever fabric collection

Today, I’m very excited to announce the launch of Sew DIY’s first fabric collection. The collection includes nine fabrics that were specially selected to pair with the Lou Box Top and Dress patterns. One of the most challenging parts of sewing can be selecting the right fabric for a pattern so I’m happy to be able to ease that struggle a bit. I truly love all of these fabrics and I hope that you do it. Read on for more details on the collection.
