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?!!

I love skiing and sledding!! I’m looking forward to doing both with my daughter when she is a little older.
When I hear winter, I think of Christmas. But that’s mostly because we don’t really have much of a winter here in Florida. So Christmas is my favorite part of winter, especially looking at all the Christmas lights!
Winter Is…
Snow and wind blowing
Cuddling, safe and warm
Christmas lights shining
During a blissful storm
I love the lights, the holidays and doing fun things with my kids. Like crafting or watching movies under a warm blanket.
My fave is to sit in hand sew with my girls by the fire. Our Doberman loves it too!
