Acorn Valley Fabric Tiered Knit Dresses

Acorn Valley is a new fabric collection by Patty Young for Riley Blake Designs. The fabric comes in three substrates: flannel, knit, and double gauze. I'm on a #simplesummersewing roll lately so I chose two coordinating prints from the knit category. The fabric is light weight (my favorite) and great quality. Its perfect for tees, skirts, and leggings, ergo its perfect for summer sewing.

The Acorn Valley Collection lends itsef to print mixing. Rather than mixing the prints on one garment, I decided to use two prints in a coordinating mini capsule wardrobe. Both the top and the dress are made from the same self-drafted tank pattern. These simple knit garments, make great summer play clothes. 

THE DRESS:
Pattern: Self-drafted from a basic tank
Fabric: Acorn Valley Bloom Dot Red in Knit

THE TOP:
Pattern: Self-drafted from a basic tank 
Fabric: Acorn Valley Flutter Multi in Knit

  4. What great outfits. I confess neither fabric would have grabbed my attention in a fabric shop, but when sewn up into such cute garments... Winner!
