This is another repeat, so click here to read more details about my first Pattern Fantastique Calyx Smock.

This time around I sewed the shorter sleeved version, purely because of fabric limitations.

I bought the fabric from someone else’s destash. It’s a soft cotton voile, and I really adore the print.

I do like raglan sleeves, and they make construction very simple. With my small head I probably don’t need the back opening, but I do like the look of the tie that extends from the neckline binding. I did hand-sew the bias binding to the inside of the neckline.

I plan to sew the dress version of this at some stage. Maybe before spring gets here! This one was sewn and photographed in December 2020. I now have both orange and teal pants that would look better with it than the heavier black that I paired it with for these photos.
