Sewing

Weekend sewing project – dresses

March 4, 2007

I was able to get 2 dresses made this weekend for Anya’s summer wardrobe.  I made these little numbers with the matching diaper covers for summer.  I used a pattern that I bought off of Ebay that was circa 1980’s.  I didn’t do much alteration from this pattern, just shortened the dress and the straps a bit.  I love that it has pockets.  Oh how toddlers love to put things in their pockets!  I usually make an error (or three) when making a pattern for the first time and for this one it was with the diaper cover.  I miscalculated just how chubby little girl’s legs were, so I need to put a little extra elastic in them.  🙂

  1. Thanks Melisa! I am having a lot of fun making her outfits…and I have a lot of fabric waiting to get made into outfits. A mother’s work is never done! 🙂

  2. Thanks Lori!

    Somedays I do feel very worn down and there are so many projects that I want to do. I obviously like to do many creative things…I just wish I had more time…and more ENERGY!
