This post is part of a month long series called 'Pattern Makeover Month.' I took a simple pattern (The Sweet Dress by Leila and Ben) and 'made-it-over' into many different styles. For more information, go here.

Change it up to a sassy little sundress!
Cut the main dress pieces as directed, adding one inch above the pattern on the neckline. Stitch the sideseams and hem the dress.
Make a rolled hem edge on the armholes. Iron the neckline over 1/2 inch and then another 1 inch. Stitch along the bottom of the fold, creating a 1 inch casing on the front and back.
For the sash I used a solid fabric. I cut the sash 60 inches long by 3 inches wide. The tails are cut at an angle. The edges are finished with a rolled hem edge on my serger.
Thread the sash through the casing.
