After no blog tour experience, I now find myself part of two
blog tours within a week!! Uncanny! Although, I must profess, I don’t consider
myself an expert at this!
But on to the fun bit!! Australian designer Suzanne of
SewPony has just released her stately new dress pattern – the Tic Tac ToeDress!!
This is the second dress pattern that I’ve had the pleasure
of testing for SewPony – the first being the Miss Polly.
Like Miss Polly, Tic Tac Toe has a very classic, vintage-esc
feel to it. With piping, pockets, comfortable fitting bodice & a slightly
gathered skirt. The pattern includes sizes 12 months to 10 years (approximately.)

There are 3 different bodice options, but many ways to make
your dress unique. The two dresses I made, use bodice “B” and bodice “C” – as I’m
rather partial to piping! Bodice “A” is plain, but perfect for adding some FMA
(free motion appliqué) or embroidery!

Sleeve options are coming out the whaazoo with this dress!!
You can choose sleeveless, gathered rectangular, small rectangular, puff
sleeves, ¾ length & full length sleeves! So many ways to make this dress
suitable for all seasons!
Add to those options, full collar, half collar, epaulettes
and a front or back tie and two back bodice options (regular & “v”.) You
really have a full arsenal of options! And during this blog tour and the
testing, there have been many wonderful variations and I hope you will have a
look at the other bloggers versions too! So inspiring!

This dress will suit sewers of intermediate experience. The
back bodice closes via invisible zip – see my invisible zip tutorial for some
extra help! Piping may seem challenging if you’ve never worked with it or made
it, however, the Tic Tac Toe pattern gives clear instructions on how to install
and even make your own!! Please also visit my previous blog post on how to make
your own! #pipeallthethings
