new dress

It's been awhile, but my girl finally got a new dress!  It's a different take on a pillowcase dress. 

I angled the sides a bit, and then added a small ruffle near the bottom hem.  The dress ties at one shoulder with a bow made from matching fabric.  She loves it!

new dresses

kate's new dress

a friend of mine who also sews, gave me this leftover fabric to make a dress for kate. it was perfect timing since kate desperately needs some new winter clothes. this fabric is heavier and looks great layered with a long sleeve shirt. i used the round-neck dress pattern that i love so much.

alaina's dress

check out this adorable dress! this pink polka-dot A-line style dress is lined on the inside. the ribbons are sewn directly to the straps and then pulled through a button-hole.

elmo dress

this is an appliqued elmo on a new style of dress i'm trying out. this dress can either have buttons or ribbons for the shoulder closure and can also be reversible.

i really like it and i'm sure i'll be doing it again soon!
this is my daughter modeling the dress...

kate's new dress

it has been quite a while since i have made anything for kate! so a new fall dress was in order. i love this fabric!

dress and matching sippy

horses for hannah

this is a custom order for a dress for a little girl who loves horses! thankfully i was able to find some cute horse fabric that coordinated well with girly polka-dots.

kara's dress

i added a decorative stitch instead of a ribbon to divide the fabrics:

cherries!

i love this little dress, with hot pink cherries on a light turquoise background, and hot pink damask coordinating trim. i'm finally getting to use lots of the fabric i bought in atlanta!

brother/sister matching set

this is my first pair of shorts i've done for a boy. i don't get the chance to make things for boys very often! basically, i used a pair of shorts sized 4T for my pattern. i think they turned out pretty good! they are nice and lightweight for the summer, with an easy elastic waist.

the dress is made from the round-neck dress pattern, in amy butler fabric.

more pink and brown!

this round-neck dress has hot pink, chocolate brown, sage and tan on it, in a very modern design. love it!

lyla's dress

here's the latest round-neck dress order i did for lyla, in a bright paisley/stripe combo...

madison's gift set

i'm hosting a baby shower this weekend for baby-on-the-way, madison, and her momma, jessica. so i decided that since all the colors/designs were up to me on the gift set, i decided to play around with all sorts of colors! so it turned out that nothing really matches, but i did have fun playing with new fabrics and ribbons. here's what i came up with...

for this newborn dress set, i added diaper covers/panties since the dress turned out a bit short. i think it's the smallest dress/panties set i've ever made! unfortunately from the photo, you can't tell how pretty the green color is. it's more of a "spring green", and it looks great with the chocolate accents.
