When I saw the testing call for the LOL Swing Top Expansion* by Jennuine Design I just had to apply (even though I was already involved in two other tests at that moment). I love the design of the LOL Swing Top and even more options were added! I already made a LOL Swing Top but hacked it slightly to make it into a dress for our youngest girl. I had some issues with my dress version, so it looks quite different from this dress. Also this time I made the LOL Swing Expansion for our youngest girl.
The LOL Swing top and dress can be both made in woven and knit, which makes it a versatile pattern. I made my previous version in knit, but this time I used woven. I make so many knit dresses and tops, while I still have many pieces of woven fabric. For summer a breezy woven dress is just perfect. On the back of the dress I added my own label. One of my sewing friends gave me the label for my birthday and I have been using them since (if I don’t forget to add them to a project). The color of the main fabric is just a perfect match with the color of my label.
Fabric: the main fabric is again a scrap I found on the exchange pile during our sewing weekend, the back yoke is colored windows in orange from Soft Cactus, which I bought during a sale at de stoffenstraat.
