One of the things I most love about sewing is the ability to make what ever you want. You can make things that never existed before. You can re-imagine loved garments. You can mould the rules to suit different fabrics and shapes. You can extend the life of loved sewing patterns.
And so here we are today, reinventing one of my most popular patterns, The Gable Top, and turning it into one of the most comfortable and flattering dresses in your wardrobe...
With pleated and gathered skirt options, The Gable Dress Expansion Pack includes new bodice, pocket and skirt pattern pieces, making this one of the most versatile patterns in your stash.
Use any of your three original Gable Top sleeve patterns (or this tutorial for 3/4 or bracelet length sleeves) and you'll have tops and dresses sorted from spring to winter.
Keeping the original classic 50s-inspired slash neckline and comfortable knit fabric construction, The Gable Dress is the perfect quick make. It can be made up using any of the recommended fabrics from your original Gable Top pattern — from cotton lycra to snuggly merino knit, the choice is yours.
The Gable Dress Expansion Pack is now available from my shop for just $3.50. It includes my recently introduced A0 Print Shop files as well as the standard A4 Letter files. You will receive all new bodice, skirt and pocket pieces as well as detailed instructions on how to construct the dress.
This is an expansion pack though, so you will need your Gable Top pattern to complete the dress!
I'd love to see your Gable Dresses, so why not share them with me by either tagging me directly, or using the hashtag #GableDress.
