The lovely days are here and new patterns and sewing projects are flourishing all over the internet. I wanted to add my two cents to all this.
The Abena dress. It was during a conference call that I suddenly had this idea for a summer dress. A 100% summer dress made of natural fibers with wide straps and a short bodice. I quickly sketched it in my notebook and refocused on my conference call. A piece of linen later, the dress was ready, ironed and folded in my suitcase ready to go on an expedition to Asia. I ended up wearing this dress EVERY day, and only changed when it needed to be washed. I later posted it on social media and was pleasantly surprised by the positive feedback I received.
So I’m offering you a step-by-step guide to make this dress. You can download the complete tutorial here. I hope you’ll love this pattern. And don’t hesitate to share your Abena dress creations.
The Abena dress
Hello my beautiful people,
The lovely days are already here, new sewing patterns have been released and awesome projects are flourishing on the internet. I thought of contributing to all this joy with this Abena dress. I am sure you will love wearing.
The Abena dress. It was during a conference call that I suddenly had the idea of this dress for summer. A dress 100% made of natural fibers, with large straps, and a short bodice. I quickly drew it on my copybook and refocused on my call. A piece of linen later, the dress was ready. I ironed, folded and placed it in my suitcase ready to explore Asia. I ended up wearing this dress every single day as it was incredibly comfortable. I only changed clothes when it was being washed and once dry I would wear it again. This is how comfy it was. I posted the Abena dress on social media and was so surprised to see the positive feedback this simple dress got.
I am now sending out the tutorial, for those of you who will be interested in making this wonderful piece. You can download the complete tutorial here. I hope you love this dress, and do not hesitate to share your makings of the Abena dress.
Enjoy your sewing!
