Combining LBB Patterns

Nothing gets past you guys. I've had question after question about the ability combine the Sienna Dress Pattern and the Hoodie Pattern.

The answer is: yes. With one adjustment. To add the hood to the Sienna dress you have to trim the neckline about an 1/8" to 1/4" all the way around (just pin the hood before you cut to check the size).

These photos aren't great, but I didn't really think about sharing them until the pattern questions came up. Just a few things I've made my daughter from my scrap bin (yes, I said scrap bin so don't hold the "un-cuteness" against me):

Sienna Dress with the following options: Hood added (from Hoodie Pattern), Capped sleeves option (from Sienna Dress Pattern), Bottom Band added (from Hoodie Pattern), Trim added to sleeves (modified from Hoodie Pattern)




Sienna Dress with the following options: Made in a larger size, Hood added (from Hoodie Pattern), Capped sleeves option (from Sienna Dress Pattern), Bottom Band added (from Hoodie Pattern), Wrist trim added (from Hoodie Pattern)



Sienna Dress with the following options: Hood added (from Hoodie Pattern), Capped sleeves option (from Sienna Dress Pattern), Bottom Band added (from Hoodie Pattern), Trim added to sleeves (modified from Hoodie Pattern), Horizontal seams are serged in reverse


Just email me if you have questions!

    Yay! I love these combos! I've already started on combining these patterns - so much fun! I attempted the bands on the sleeve before I got your hoodie pattern and they didn't turn out so good. Happy to have instructions now :-)
