Let's take a quick break from the Sew-a-bration of Womanhood and do a Monthly MashUp!  The weather is finally warm around here so I wanted to do a sleeveless summer dress for Bean this month.  I've had this MashUp in my head since last year and I love how it turned out.  The Junebug Dress from Craftiness Is Not Optional and the Betty Skirt from the Shaffer Sisters combine to make an adorable drop-waisted summer dress.

Saffron Twirl Birthday Party Dress

In case you haven't seen the newest Sew Fab bundle sale, then let me be the first to let you know that Paisley Roots' Saffron Twirl Dress is included!  *I am not an affiliate of Sew Fab, but Paisley Roots is so if you buy the bundle from the links in this post Karly will benefit!

I adore this dress.  Way back when - you know before she won Season 8 of Project Run & Play and became famous - Karly sent me this pattern to review and I immediately made two dress for friends of ours that we were visiting for Labor Day Weekend 2013.  Yeah, I told you it was a while ago.  Anyway, I made the two dresses and the girls loved them so much that they could barely stand still for a picture.  I decided I needed to make another one for Bean, but since we were heading into colder days I asked Karly if it was okay to post for her Easter dress this spring instead and she agreed.  At the time we had no idea it would be part of Sew Fab, but it all worked out so well.

SSW and a Sew-a-bration

If you're looking for the giveaway and link-up parties for our Sew-a-bration of Womanhood you can find them here.

My husband's birthday is this weekend and we're planning a date night on Friday so a new top was in order.  Luckily it's Selfish Sewing Week.  I'm really into the shape of the shoulder of the Bess Top (*affiliate link) by Imagine Gnats right now AND it's a super quick sew so I grabbed the pattern and cut one out.
