P4P Sweetheart Dresses


Both these dresses were made quite awhile ago.  The blue/gray stripe was made in Septemberish? The green in November.

Both are made from the Patterns For Pirates Sweetheart Dress pattern.

Thoughts: Love love love.  I really love this dress. It is one of my favorite makes to date.

I also made some PegLegs in size 1x (one size up from my measurements because I wanted them to be a little looser for the material).  I used 1 yard of rose Double brushed Poly.  they are heavenly soft on the legs – like wearing a cloud!  The leggings cost about $7 to make.

 This is a mash up using the P4P circle skirt and Renfrew on top.

Size: Straight size Large for the P4P, size 8 for the renfrew on top (I made sure to blend the patterns together at the waist)

Fabric: 2 yards super soft Brushed Hunter Green Sweater Knit purchased from Knitpop in October. It was in an auction box so both yards cost $11.40 after shipping.

Thoughts: It’s ok. I like it. I feel a little matronly in it though.  I made it to go with some green/black leggings but then the greens didn’t look right together. I'm not sure what I'll wear underneath. Winter in Wisconsin is brutal so no naked legs!

I was able to get some pictures taken of most of my makes so expect a few posts upcoming.

Happy Sewing!

  1. Absolutely love your dresses, especially the stripey one. It fits so well! Also your hair is so long! I'm jealous - I tried to grow mine, but it was too thin.

    1. Aw thanks Gwen! The P4P ones are just so perfect for my shape. I haven't tried the latest yet, I kind of felt like I had enough tank patterns of P4P since I have the LMU and Essentials ones. It is cute though!
