Puff and Pencil Palma Dress & Tee Sleeve

Buy the Palma Dress & Tee Sleeve sewing pattern bundle from Puff and Pencil. This bundle includes two separate patterns – the Palma Dress and the Tee Sleeve – which work in combination to make a short sleeve dress.

The Palma Dress features a square neckline and princess seams at the bust for a beautifully shaped bodice. A wide smocked panel at the back provides a snug fit and makes the dress easy to put on and take off. The skirt is slim and is divided in the front, creating a slit that opens when walking. The dress can be made with or without sleeves.

The Tee Sleeve features a classic slim T-shirt fit. The hem is folded inward for a crisp edge and sewn with a visible topstitch.

Suggested fabrics: 

Palma Dress: This pattern is designed for woven fabrics. Fabrics such as crepe, linen, poplin, woven viscose, taslan, cotton satin, and seersucker all work well.

Tee Sleeve: This pattern is designed for woven fabrics but it can also be made in stretchy fabric. Avoid fabric that is too heavy and stiff so the sleeve will drape nicely. Fabrics such as crepe, poplin, viscose, linen, lightweight wool, and seersucker all work well.
