Sew Therapy

I was little bummed on Friday so I thought no better way to put myself in a better than to create a new dress for my Sweet pea. There is nothing like sewing therapy!


Is seen this dress over at Cottage Home a a bit ago and just loved it. I tell you I think she could make a potato sack look good!! Any ways, I wanted to make something like it for Sweet pea. I used Stitch n' Save pattern #m6007. All I had to do was change the pattern a bit which wasn't hard at all.  
                                                

 The tangerine fabric I used was Sweet pea's favorite, I only bought a yard of this because at the time they were sold out. :( I am going to have to order more. I also got my lables on Saturdat!! This was a great pick me upper. ;)
I used Heather Baily's rose fabric for the main part of her dress on the one side. I made a tangerine center panel going down the front side with a matching pocket on the side. Sweet pea noticed the pocket right away,lol.

My label. :) I loved the way the came out!

And flip the dress inside out and you'll fine a whole new dress! The other side is covered in polka dots with the rose panel in the center. I like that it has two different looks in one dress.


Happy Sewing!!
