The Morrison Maxi

The summer sewing continues with the first maxi I've made in quite a while even though I wear them all the time. The Morrison Top and Dress pattern has turned out to be the basis for this summer's wardrobe. It's easy, quick and since I'm home most of the time right now, comfortable. 

I purchased 2 yards of this double brushed poly online with the idea of making a dress or jumpsuit. When I got it I figured it might be too much print for a jumpsuit (plus how did I think I'd get a jumpsuit out of 2 yards?) and better in a dress.  I had just enough for a maxi, whew! 

I measured my favorite maxi and made the skirt the same 41" length.  After cutting, it went together in under 2 hours so it turned out to be a satisfying make.  The total project was less than $20 because I already had the pattern (of course, but it's $10 on the website) and the thread. It will also travel well as this fabric doesn't wrinkle. What a dream!

I did end up making that jumpsuit and I'll be sharing with you very soon!

Be safe friends!
