Edie gathered dress hack

Another version of the Edie based on M&M Edie Pattern Hack. I followed the instructions to crop the Edie top and add a gathered skirt. Also inspired by sine of the jersey/woven dresses on the high street I made the top from Cotton/Elastane fabric from Hobbycraft and the skirt fabric is M&M European Laundered Linen in Demon Scarlet. Thread is Gutermann Sew All 156. I also wanted a short sleeve for this version. So the sleeve is from Atelier Brunette La Chemisette.

Another Edie Top

This is my second Edie top as I love this patternand always get compliments when I wear the blue version. I made a size 12 but added 11cm to the hem this time. This is in Merchant & Mills Whisper ikat cotton.

Edie top

My latest make, and although Edie wasn't listed I was inspired by recent blog: Sew from your fabric stash: spring blouses. I went straight to my stash and identified Edie as the perfect Spring blouse. I've already made it up as a winter dress so knew the pattern well.

I love Edie. I'm a sucker for big sleeves and this fits the bill if you're looking for a top that makes a statement.

Fabric - 2m cotton poplin from Ebay.

My new favourite autumn dress

Like everyone says it's all about the sleeves! This is a simple dress that can easily styled up or down. I used a polyester viscose check which is really cosy and warm. The pattern as usual from M & M is well designed and instructions easy to follow. I added patch pockets and a tie belt as it felt a bit too wide on its own plus a tuck halfway down the sleeves which helps with the weight of the voluminous sleeves especially in a thicker fabric. Can't recommend it enough as a great transitional dress to wear with boots.
