This is my second time making the Maya Dress. The first one you can find on my Minerva post. This project actually began with the fabric. My sunny red daisy fabric I purchased together with the fabric for my last wrap dress. The fabric is a rayon poplin by Telio Brand. Since I’ve been craving red I knew I wanted to use it soon. I originally planned a cute button up dress but this easy slip dress won out. This is a piece I will be wearing all summer. Pattern & Sizing The Maya dress pattern is from Papercut Patterns.

Red dress set #s8635
Hi everybody! I’m doing a bit of summery sew my stash to use up some of these wonderful fabrics I’ve been hoarding. The red fabric was another thrift store find, can’t beat the price! And surprisingly my thrift store fabrics have been equally as nice as the materials I pick up in traditional fabric stores.
