Dress in a Day


I realized that Easter is rapidly approaching and that I better get on top of making Macy's Easter dress. The Christmas dresses ended up being a pain and too expensive so I was really going for something simple and fun this time. I will probably make her one or two more dresses of variations of this pattern. it was very fun and simple and I didn't even start it until noon today. I could easily have done this dress in 2 hours if I had been uninterrupted (not due to my abilities, just how easy this was).

This one isn't quite as cute of Macy but I love how it shows off the dress.


And I thought this picture was pretty adorable. The funniest part is when I told her I was going to take her picture she ran right over to the chair, put her hand on her hip and smiled. She is ready to go pro I think :)

P.S. There is a really good sale at Joann this week. I got this pattern and enough fabric and elastic to make two dresses for under $10 bucks. Pretty good deal, eh?

If I could just have your sewing brain just for one day.... :) Seriously Nichole, you are awesome. Was that just a pattern you bought? I have thought about venturing into the art of clothes making. I'm finishing up a blanket right now that I decided to quilt with my machine. Yeah, I guess I should have used a walking foot because it looks rancid. Oh well. Wish you lived closer so you could teach me all your mad skills!
