Color Block – B5030

OH ! Glorious Color Block !!!
I love how this wrap dress turned out !!! Let me just get that out FIRST!!!   
Im so excited because I had NO idea of what I wanted to do with this fabric … I did my little ritual where I lay the fabric out on my cutting table and walk past it for a few days hoping I would get a idea …  
TO NO AVAIL 😦  !!
One of my followers suggested that I make a wrap dress ! That idea seemed perfect because Mccall had just announced on their blog that they where doing a wrap dress sew along !!!
The had outlined a list of patterns that could be used… After much debate ( not really) I settled on : 
Butterick 5030
The instructions where Super Easy to Follow 
I Cut a size 12 
I am definitely going to sew this pattern again soon with a solid color, but I am so lovin this color block design  right now !!! I was a little apprehensive about it because Ive never worked with color block fabric but I think the placement of the blocks turned out fine !
If you would like to follow along with the McCall Sew Along  you can click HERE 
I Just zoomed ahead a little bit to finish mine !!
Go make you one !! I love wrap dresses .. 
Its no coincidence that Diane von Fürstenberg is one of my favorite designers AND best known for the iconic wrap dress!!
Shop some of her styles here : 
  

One thing i love about the wrap dress is the ability to dress it up or down !
 I can throw on a pair of heels and grab my clutch to change it up for a night on the town with hubby!! The wrap dress is so versatile and since that\’s what I aim to accomplish in all my pieces Ill call this one a WIN !   🙂

OK before I go I wanted to make a really exciting announcement!!
