You all know that I like a quick sew.  Not all of the time – I’m not afraid of more complex or time-consuming garments and it’s often good to undertake a more challenging project – but often, it’s so satisfying to finish a quickie!

This little bubble dress is view B of New Look 6882. I made the size 6 for Clare, which I’ve made before. So simple! She really likes her other dress and finds that it’s a super comfortable and cool style to wear in summer (not that the weather is even vaguely summery here yet). The bias binding casings are simple to do, and I estimate two hours tops for this dress, including cutting out.

The bias binding doesn’t match exactly, but it was in stash. I used wider binding for the neckband to make it easy to enclose the gathered neckline, and so that when I finished it the neckband would appear to be the same width as the hemline and sleeve casings. The fabric is from Spotlight but from years ago. You’ve seen it before, but there is still a little bit left!
