Colorful DIY Pom Pom Jewelry

Our favourite part of summer is undoubtedly going to the beach, but we have another favourite thing too that comes in a very close second place! It’s a simple pleasure that not many other people might think of quite as highly as we do, but every single year it gives us a bit of simple joy. What is it that we love so much, you ask? Well, we just can’t help but love getting to wear cutely comfortably, coolly airy summer dresses! Believe it not, however, there’s actually something that’s even a little bit better than just wearing a new summer dress- wearing a new summer dress that you made yourself!

Whether you prefer altering clothing that already existed or sewing yourself garments from scratch, we’ve got a pattern here for you. Check out these meny adorable summer dress tutorials and sewing patterns that will keep you looking cute and feeling comfortable all summer long!

✓ Simple shirt dress

Is your style a little more casual than some and, in other seasons, you’ve always loved the look of a simple blouse style top with little buttons and a neat collar? Then you might feel a little bit discouraged looking at a lot of DIY summer dresses because many of them are quite floral, lacy, and girly, not just in their material and colour, but in their cut and actual design.

✓ Hand painted front-zip lemon dress

Some people might find them a little too casual for anything but the beach, but we think that they’re stunning if you dress them up right. “Dressing” your dressing up, however, doesn’t have to mean just pairing it with the right accessories. Instead, why not try your hand at painting a pattern onto your dress,

✓ DIY kimono sun dress

We’ve always very much appreciated the lovely wrapping style of a kimono. Besides looking pretty with the tie around the middle, we love the way the material wraps around and hugs all our curves. We think kimono dresses are flattering on any body type, and they’re also a huge DIY bonus because they’re relatively easy to make yourself!

✓ Ruffled top sun dress

Perhaps you’ve been looking for a simple, solid sun dress that’s rather subtle in its visual design but still has a bit of detail to keep things stylish? Then we definitely think you should check out this adorable ruffle top dres

Kaftan dresses are an awesome style because they’re incredibly comfortable and you look stylish even though all you’ve had to do is throw them on and walk out the door! Perhaps, however, you’re looking for something similar to a kaftan but with maybe just a touch more fitting to it? In that case, you might appreciate this kaftan inspired swing dress pattern
