Recycled T-shirt Dresses

I am love with the Sienna Dress Pattern from Little Blue Boo.  It is such a cool thing for me to be able to create my little one totally one of a kind dresses.   The latest dress that I made her was made out of an old Marilyn Monroe t-shirt of mine.   I love the way that it turned out.

It is a lot of fun making these dresses too.  I was incredibly nervous at first because I had never sewn with knit AND I had never sewn a neck band before.  Both ended up being pretty easy.  

If you are interested in getting the pattern, you can go HERE.  I would highly, highly recommend the pattern.  It is very easy to follow.

Birthday Dress Complete!

I finished the birthday dress.   I think that it turned out very cute!  I am really pleased with the colors.  Stephen said that he didn't think that the blue matched very well.   I think it looks adorable.

Birthday Dress

One of my very best friend's grand-daughter is turning one.  I thought it would be fun to make her a sweet first birthday outfit.  I have gone back and forth on if I should make her a skirt with a matching shirt or a dress.  I really wanted to try my hand at the skirt and shirt because I just recently learned to appliqué, and I thought that I could make her an adorable matching shirt.   However, because first birthdays are so special, I finally decided to make her a fun dress.   It is going to be really adorable.   I am even thinking of adding a little tulle petticoat when I am done!   I will post pictures when I am finished with the dress.  Here are some pictures of the work in progress.  I just love the little blue ruffle peeking out the bottom!

A sweet little Valentine's Dress

I love to dress Lilith for every occasion, and for Valentine's Day I decided to try my hand at making her a dress. I think that it turned out pretty cute!

I used an e-pattern that I found on Etsy, and it was very easy to follow. You can get the pattern for yourself here. I plan on making this dress many, many more times in the future.
