Sasha Shift Dress
$25.00 – $29.50The Sasha Shift Dress is a simple mini dress with an all-in-one facing and pockets. It features a square neckline at the front and at the back. I love wearing my Sasha Shift Dress down to the river on a summer day, with heels for a night out, or with a turtleneck and stockings for a cozy winter day. I hope you enjoy sewing your Sasha Shift Dress just as much as I enjoyed putting the pattern together.
Some ideas for possible hacks: A tank top version. A maxi version with side slits. A frill at the hem.

Embroidery Add On
$7.50A PDF pattern for the front panel of the Honey dress.
The design is by Evie May Adams, and the embroidery for this sample was beautifully stitched by Becky Hogg.
For our version we used No 712 DMC Stranded Cotton x 2 with a No 7 embroidery needle. There are various methods you can use for transferring the design, which we’ve listed in the download. For our version we printed the design onto tracing paper, then covered the tracing paper in lots of layers of tailor’s chalk, this way you just draw over the reverse on the cloth and it pushes the chalk onto the cloth.
