March Pattern of the Month: Mila’s Tulip Sleeve Top and Dress
Hello, March. I have big plans for you.
Spring is so close I can almost feel it! Well, not quite, but if I think it enough spring will eventually manifest itself, right?
With spring around the corner, or at least close-ish, I am ready to start my spring sewing. Thinking about the warm spring air, the beautiful spring tulips blooming, the birds chirping, it just makes me SO happy! Nothing feels more “springy” to me than Mila’s Tulip Sleeve Top and Dress. That’s why I am so excited to announce this month’s pattern of the month, Mila! This means, all month long you can get your Mila patterns for 20% off! And a HUGE thank you to Hawthorne Supply Co. for sponsoring this blog post and sending our wonderful promo team fabrics from their in house collection!

You also have a few skirt options. Top or dress length and both lengths include a simple skirt or an accent strip option to give the skirt an extra pop.

This pattern features easy to read instructions and pictures for installing zippers. You will be amazed how beautifully this dress goes together. The bodice is lined, the skirt is not. However, you can easily line the skirt as well if you wanted. This pattern is designed for woven.
