Sew and Tell: Colorblock Sweatshirt Dress



So here is my next sweatshirt dress offering: color block flounce hem sweatshirt dress. What do you think? I am trying to get rid of my sweatshirt scraps before the winter is over, hence the color block.  I am soooo ready for the Spring. However, I am sad to see Winter go, fashion wise. I LOVE cold weather fashion and I love my sweatshirts!
On a side note, I have not been blogging that often because I have a part time job as a museum educator in, well, a museum, lol. I will definitely talk more about this in another post. I wore this dress for one of my tours and raced home to take pictures of it before the kids came home from school. I forgot to take my id tag off for the first pics so I decided to use it as a prop!  

Here's the front and back. I didn't have enough scraps for the back so it is less color blocky, if you will, but I don't mind. 


 I love the v-shape in the front and the flouce on the bottom. Looks great with leggings and boots. 
If I would have had more of the blue sweatshirt material, I would have used it on the sleeves but, low and behold, I didn't, so I had to use the brown. I think blue sleeves would have balanced it out a little more. 
Like always, I love the fact that you can't tell these are regular sweatshirts! 



Would you wear something like this? Too color blocky?

  2. Really great color combinations! Brown and blue are great together, and I'm really liking a deep flounce for the flirty factor.
