After my daughter asked specifically for a PINK dress, this is what we came up with! I got the fabric for $4 a yard, and only used a yard....yeah for me!!!
My daughter is getting so big, that she needed a new dress...her other ones were getting WAY too short for her...some even showed her diaper!
So, I had her try it on. 
So, I sew all the time for my daughter, but feel bad because my son kinda misses out! So, I ask him about 2x a week if he wants me to make him something - he usually says no. However, yesterday he said YES!! He told me he wanted a CAPE!!!
I thought, really?!?! But, ok...
Here is another in a LONG series of skirts for my baby girl! She refuses to wear pants (really....REFUSES!) so I make her about a billion dresses....and she loves them all. This one's pleated different, and that's why I like it :).
I feel like I am on a ROLL!!! Here is another finish that I have. I actually made this quilt about 18 months ago when my husband was in Japan for 3 months...needed something to do. Each square has 1-4 pieces of RIBBON on it. It was super fun to make, and allowed the creative juices to flow :) :)
For as long as I can remember, my sister and I have wanted to have a skirt made out of ties! For some reason, we can never seem to get the pattern that we want in our heads to work on paper or with the ties...
Because I had some AMAZING fabric sitting around and waiting to be used, I decided it was perfect fabric to use to make my daughter a dress! This is fabric from Joel Dewberry, and I have just been sitting on it waiting to make something of it - and this was perfect!! This was such a super easy dress to make (no pattern), and my daughter just loves it.
I just finished another summer dress for my girl! I often feel bad for my son, because he doesn't get as much fun things when I sew as my daughter does! She just loves dresses so much, and I can sew them so much cheaper than purchasing them that we figure, why not! Guess I need to make some shorts for my sons...
This is another of the summer dresses that I have made for my baby girl! It's a 3T....she's only 23 months old :)
My little princess LOVES dresses and skirts. In fact, when i ask her in the morning if she wants to wear a dress or pants she 95% of the time will say "dress!!" However, she's super tall and has what we like to call "Polynesian bum"...a large tuchus :) but it's super cute!! So, dresses that we find in the store are usually too short for her, and if we do find one that's long enough in the front, it's often too short in the back. Lucky for her, she has a mom that knows how to sew :) :) :)
I found this cute pattern for a skirt called "The Market Skirt" here, and made a few minor adjustments for my baby girl; like no pockets, longer and wider pieces (I like the ruffled look) and had at it! My daughter just loves it, and wants to wear it all the time. Guess I'm going to have to make some more!
She just adores modeling her dresses, so she asked me to take a picture of her in her "pretty"!!
I thought I'd get an early start on my summer projects...
About a year ago, my mom got me this really awesome dress pattern that is a 1 piece pattern and reversible...
