Fabric Project No.11 "Color Block"

It's a New Year, and a perfect time to start thinking "spring". My wardrobe is currently craving a light dress yet season appropriate. On my last fabric shopping venture in Manhattan I scouted a few yards of beautiful wool, very light-weight and soft to the touch, in washed pink. Also, my fabric closet is full of scraps of woven wonders, and every time I pull the drawer, they scream to be sewn and worn! Some of these scraps will be made into a dress!
So, I came up with a "Color Block" idea for #fabricproject No.11 inspired by this Shoshanna dress.

Shoshanna color-block dress $350

My color combination is a bit more creative, and I slightly tweaked the design

for a comfy fit.

Stay tuned for a complete design and my Look of the Day post!!
