Clover Maxi Hack & Giveaway
Oh Clover, you have been my most recurring pdf pattern. I have made Clover Child, Clover Tween, Clover Dress add-on Child, Clover Dress add-on Tween and now Clover Dress Misses pattern. I have also hacked Clover into a top and now I want to share with you how you use the original sewing pattern and turn the Clover Dress into a maxi length dress. Below I will have measurements for all size ranges Child, Tween and Misses.
But before we get down to business, here are some maxi dress photo inspirations…
Clover as a maxi is just so dreamy!!!
Fabric Details:
Misses Dress: Spoonflower

How to Assemble the Maxi Skirt:
-Cut your skirt according to the charts below.
-Sew the front and back skirt side seams together with a 1/2" seam allowance just as you did with the Hi Lo skirt.
-Follow the tutorial instructions just as you were sewing the Hi Lo skirt. Hem, with a 1/4", 1/4" seam allowance. So simple, right?!!

My all time favorite winter activity was always baking and decorating roll-out cookies with my Grandma, whom I was very close to (and was the sewist of the family- I didn’t learn from her like I should have, but she’s the reason I decided to try it out years after she passed as a way to feel close to her!). Now I decorate the cookies with my own kiddos and I love her even more— either I was a “better” kid than my own, or she had the patience of a goddess 😂😂😂
My favorite winter activity is doing the 25 days of Christmas advent calendar with my babies.
I love to sit and be with my family by the light of the Christmas tree.
My favorite activity is drinking tea and reading books.
Sewing while baking or making candy. It is too hot here to do much baking in the summer and candymaking is strictly a winter activity.
