I love the fabric, it's actually a scrap piece from a top I made for myself last year. I'm glad I had enough to make the dress. And I'm even happier about having matching piping on hand (going to the fabric store is a trap!).

A Dress for April
I'm still on my sewing kick so yesterday I whipped up this little dress for April.
It is inspired by the Itty Bitty Baby Dress that Rae posted. Unfortunately her pattern was way too small for April, so I made up my own pattern and used Rae's basic instructions to put it together.

So cute!

Oh my gosh! It came out so beautifully and looks so lovely on April!
ReplyDeleteOk, too funny. I was just talking to Kyrie today about making clothes for the girls, and started searching around for patterns. I found this exact pattern on Made by Rae's site and plan to make one for each girl! I was wondering why it looked so familiar though and then thought to come check here and, sure enough, this is where I saw it. Was it pretty easy to sew?
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't hard to make but the pattern on the site is for a newborn so the hard part was adjusting the pattern to fit April's size. I ended up just drawing up my own which worked out fine.
ReplyDeleteYeah she has a link to a 3T one, so I'm hoping to be able to make it a bit longer for Meredith and then depending on how that goes a bit shorter and narrower for Fiona.
