Meet my ultimate stash buster project, the seamless scrap dress. I originally designed this one for my daughter and knew as soon as it was finished I’d need one in my size too! Using nothing but fingering weight scraps I designed this pattern to be the perfect blue print to your new favorite dress. There are lots of notes included along the way for customizing the perfect fit.
