Wildflower Boho
/When I designed the Wildflower Surprise fabric for Project Nature Adventure, I wanted it to be a versatile fabric. The first dress that I sewed was in a classic, vintage style (see it HERE) and I loved it! The floral looked so crisp and clean in that dress. Yet, I also thought it would be perfect for something in the trendy boho style.
I have used the Lynx pattern by Sofiona Designs several times (HERE and HERE) and, although it already has several great options, I am starting to use it for pattern hacking (HERE). This hack was fairly simple. I wanted the shirt to have a loose, flowy fit rather than a slim fit. It just seems more “boho” to me and the cotton poplin is a great fabric for light and airy styles. I just extended the bottom center pieces a few inches when I cut on the fold and used a gathering stitch to make it fit the bodices. I also cut the bottom in a little bit of a high-low hemline. Finally, I added bell sleeves, but my daughter hated them, so we compromised when I cut them in half. I guess it is more of a ruffle now.
We had ourselves a little photo shoot, of course. (344 pictures!) For this adventure, we took a walk around our little farmette. We found a few wildflowers that are still hanging around since the township mowed along the road, so my daughter picked a tiny bouquet. A few barn kittens followed us and kept sneaking into my pictures as they hunted for bugs. When we went to the far pasture a doe crossed the road near us twice! Finally, we visited the horses… I don’t think I have introduced the newest horse but her name is Sweet Serenity (Sweetie for short).
There are only a few days left to preorder fabric or availability will not be guaranteed. You can see the entire Project Nature Adventure line, including digital files, in the Project Run and Play shop.
