I was able to get 2 dresses made this weekend for Anya’s summer wardrobe. I made these little numbers with the matching diaper covers for summer. I used a pattern that I bought off of Ebay that was circa 1980’s. I didn’t do much alteration from this pattern, just shortened the dress and the straps a bit. I love that it has pockets. Oh how toddlers love to put things in their pockets! I usually make an error (or three) when making a pattern for the first time and for this one it was with the diaper cover. I miscalculated just how chubby little girl’s legs were, so I need to put a little extra elastic in them. 🙂
your talents neve cease to amaze me. i love the little dresses.
Thanks Melisa! I am having a lot of fun making her outfits…and I have a lot of fabric waiting to get made into outfits. A mother’s work is never done! 🙂
Very cute outfits and your photos are so incredible. I agree, you are very talented.
Thanks Lori!
Somedays I do feel very worn down and there are so many projects that I want to do. I obviously like to do many creative things…I just wish I had more time…and more ENERGY!
[…] Here was my project this weekend. I made the pattern for these little pants to make the curved gathered section on the front. I added some pretty ribbon along the edge and a pinwheel at the bottom on each side. It has a vintage looking silver button in the center with flowers stamped on it. The matching onesie was again, Old Navy, and I added the appliques and silver button. The shirt and pants match the dress I made a few weeks ago that I posted here. […]
