Okay, so, back to patterns! I hadn't truly followed a pattern yet, usually getting a little lost by the end and improvising and fixing little problems I'd created...So, I found a pattern that truly looked easy to try to stick to til the end.
This one looked pretty dorky, but
easy is what we were after. I followed it almost all the way - I put the zipper in a little differently than the pattern advised, and I added some ric rac and embroidery. In the end it turned out pretty cute...She loves it, so that's all that matters!
PS: This blog might need to be named 52 Dress Pickup....I've become obsessed with dress making.
Seriously...When are you starting your photography blog?? Haha. But really...this dress is so cute. And J bird is so cute. And I am really mad that you have those actions and I don't. What are we going to do about that?
ReplyDeleteso cute. i am loving it, maybe after i have this baby i will become crafty again! i am loving everything you have done.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lindsey, these are so cute! You are so much more talented than you give yourself credit for! I just love seeing these on cute little Josie. The dad shirt dress is so cool. So, you may have noticed I totally copied your idea of a craft blog. I surely hope you don't mind. It is helping me get things done- it makes it a little more fun. I'm actually working on some dresses too- I'll post a link to the patterns for them. So far, very easy!
ReplyDeleteCute! Maybe someday I'll have a normal life again to try to make fun stuff! =)
