J is for Josie


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.

  1. 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?

  3. Oh, 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!
