This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, not a physical product.
The Smultron Dress is a voluminous, fun dress. It’s so easy to adapt to different lengths and works with an impressive variety of fabrics.
View A is a short, half circle, bias dress with a V-neck yoke, spaghetti straps, and an elastic back. You will learn how to:
- Make spaghetti straps
- Cut a bias dress
- Sew French seams
View B is a short, half circle, bias dress with a slightly curved neckline, spaghetti straps, and back ties.
In addition to what you will learn in View A, you will also learn:
- French seam slit (in the center back of the dress)
You can of course mix it up and put the back ties on View A, or elastic back on View B. The instructions also show you how to lengthen and shorten the dress, and add optional tiers.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
I was born and raised in Sweden, and studied Fashion Design and Pattern Making there. In my twenties I came to Hawai'i, fell in love with a local surfer, and now we are raising our three boys on the island of O'ahu. I feel incredibly blessed to call this amazing place home!
I started my pattern making/technical design career in 2016 in Honolulu, working for small, local brands. After a few years I fell pregnant with my first son, and decided I wanted to freelance when I became a mother. My job now is so fun and multi-faceted. I still work with a lot of local brands, and I even get to pattern and grade for a lot of people that I met through Instagram, in addition to running my own little pattern design studio, Paradise Patterns. I love having one foot in the clothing manufacturing business as well as the home sewing community!
Thank you so much for stopping by, and please feel free to email me with any questions!
