Sweet Little Dress

I've been wanting to buy this pattern forever and finally did. I had bought fabric especially for it and it has just been sitting with my sewing stuff. I finally bought the pattern and made the dress for my daughter. I think it turned out so cute. You can find the pattern here at the Leila and Ben etsy shop. It's so easy to make and you can mix and match fabrics or use the same fabric for the whole dress. They have two patterns one that is 3 months -12 months and a 12 months - 5T. I bought the combo pack that had both patterns for just $12.

I decided I wanted to have a tie around the dress so I made my own tie (not included in the pattern)

Here is my little one with her new dress. I also made her a headband out of the coordinating fabric. I went the size smaller so it could fit as a long shirt too. It was so easy to make!

Doesn't it look cute paired with jeans? I used Heather Bailey fabric for her dress. I liked the dress so much I already have 3 more in the works that I'm making her.

Twirly Skirts

I loved this quick easy pattern... great for beginners. I got the fabric and pattern from quilthome.com. The fabric is by Joel Dewberry (Aviary Collection) and the pattern is by Pink Fig (The Girly Skirt by Chelsea Anderson). Happy Sewing!

Baby Peasant Blouse

You never know exactly how bad the economy will get. I have been brushing up on my clothing construction skills, just in case there is a shortage of adorable little clothes. I found a great tutorial for this peasant blouse here. I had to make some adjustments to fit my baby and the elastic I had on hand was thinner than the sample, but I ended up with a wearable garment that is pretty cute (in my opinion)... but what wouldn't be on this little gal?? Next step, velvet gown from my draperies!
