Katina + Scallops Mashup

Updated: May 24, 2023

We tend to find inspiration in many different places, and when we considered how to use the Scallops Add-on Pack in an unusual way, we didn't look any farther than the Katina sundress. Like magic, the sleeve band works perfectly as an alternative strap.

Pockets

1. To create the scallop top of the pocket, start with the sleeve band pattern piece #4.


2. Fold in the first and last scallop towards the center of the sleeve band, leaving two scallops visible. Cut 2 shortened strips that will become the top of your pocket.

3. Following the Scallops instructions, with right sides together, carefully sew the scalloped edge on the sleeve band. (we will now refer to this piece as the scalloped top).


4. Turn and press.


5. Place scalloped top on right side of pocket, matching raw edges. Baste in place.
