Organic Paisley in Blue, Medium

                                                                           Iris Pinwheel in White, Medium

Quartrefoil in Orange on White, Small

 My baby's dress was from an old pattern my mom had from her aunt.  Although the style in the 60's was to hem it up about 3 inches higher, I wanted it longer and only did a small hem. 


I love the detailing of the small buttons and the pockets.  I measured a headband from Gymboree that we have to make this copy.  I am going to make a tutorial for how to make it soon.  It is super cute!

My second daughter chose a super cute pattern with a bubble skirt and a tie around the waste.  However, the top was super small and had ties around the neck so I took another old pattern from my aunt for the top and sleeves.  She was the first one to choose the colors of her dress when I got the fabric.  I love what she chose.  I think the dress looks great just how she picked it.













I also learned that she is really photogenic.  She is a goofball when taking photos, but so many of her photos turned out so good. 

My oldest daughter picked a pattern with a pieced together skirt.  It was actually a lot or work to get the skirt all put together, but it turned out really cute.  The top in the pattern didn't have sleeves, but I just used the same sleeves from the other pattern to add sleeves to this dress.  We also found the perfect ric-rac for the detailing and the buttons on the back at JoAnn's Fabric Store.

Mary Jencks by Emilie Daly

My sister-in-law has just had her dreams come true!  She is a fabric designer!  Not just any designer, but an amazing designer with beautiful modern prints.  I love all of her fabric!!  I just got my first order of her fabric this weekend!   It was so hard to choose my favorite prints, but I am so happy with all of the ones I got.  I am going to make Easter dresses for all of my girls.  Yep, Easter is in three weeks so I am going to be very busy.  My three year old chose these three fabrics for her dress.  It is going to be so cute!

You can order her fabric from Modern Yardage a new fabric company that just opened last month.  You can learn more about Emilie Daly Designs here: facebook

Tiana Costume

My three year old daughter LOVES the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog. She decided she was going to be Tiana for Halloween last year. There are no cute Tiana costumes anywhere, and plus I wanted to make it. It isn't exactly the dress because we added sleeves, but everything else it very close. Here's what we came up with...


We tried to get a black wig for her, but the children's size was too small and the adult ones just didn't work. So a few people have called her Tinkerbell with her blond hair and white skin. I just don't want to dye her hair black for fear that it wouldn't come out.
