A few weeks ago, I ordered three yards of coordinating prints from
Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane fabric line. My plan was to make Sayla and Keadryn little semi-matching dresses for Keadryn's third birthday party later this month.
Three things to notice:
1- The fabric... gorgeous right? I matched the girls' dresses to Jordi's red-and-green birthday party palette, but isn't the aqua beautiful as well? The
laminated 'pocketbook green' (see above) is on my mother's day wish list.
2- The shirring. I can't stop y'all.
3- I ended up making 4 dresses. One for Keadryn, one for Sayla, a little one for teeny baby Hannah... And (here's where the confession comes in) I used the extra fabric to make a coordinating newborn dress just in case Peanut #2 is a girl. I know it's weird to make a dress for a baby that might be a boy. But I couldn't help myself. There, I said it.
Tutorial to come, by the way... so y'all can join in the nicey, shirred, pocket-y, summer-y goodness.
These are so cute. The shirring is fabulous and comfortable. I remember wearing "sun dresses" -- that's what we called these -- when I was little. They were favorites of mine!

ReplyDeletejust beautiful! I saw some similar fabric here yesterday, but the colors/pattern were awful - these are fabulous! great find & fab ending!
ReplyDeleteThose are darn cute! I made one similar for an American Girl. Posted a pic today. I can't stop with the Shirring either! So fun now that I've figured it out.
