A Fancy Hopscotch For Little Miss

 Good Morning!! I decided yesterday for a quick pick-me-upper since I have been on a boy kick this past two weeks. (that and Sweet pea has been trying to run off with everything I had made the boys, I think it's her way of saying where's mine!, lol) I do enjoy making things for my boys but I do LOVE making dresses for my little Sweet pea. I will warn ya there is a few pictures of Sweet pea here!
 This dress started off as a shirt I found shopping a few weeks ago at JcPennies. I seen the shirt and thought it would make a great hopscotch dress for Sweet pea.  It was only $3 too so how could I not buy it!
 I did change the sleeves on the top of the dress. I wanted a short sleeve for the two more months of hot/warm weather we have coming and I also wanted to make it where I could layer a long oneis under it too for this winter.
 I made a matching shimmery clip to place onto the top of her dress too. And the best part when Sweet pea seen the dress for the first time she grabbed it from my hand and was hugging her new dress! She only gave it back when she knew I was putting the dress on her. Has your daughter ever had an outfit/dress like this too?
Happy Sewing!!!

Refasoined Christmas dress

I am so ready for Christmas right now so I thought I would start out by making Sweet pea her Christmas dress. I had bought me a dress a few years ago on sale but never wore it and in the last two years a gained a bit of wieght so it wouldn't fit anymore. Sorry no pictures of it. I have been thinking of a way to make it into a dress for my baby girl for about month now, so Friday I just dove into it. I took my seam ripper and took the zipper out and reused it for her dress. I did have to take some fabric out of my stash for the slip but every thing else came from my old dress on her new dress. I am very happy with the way it turned out.
I just love the big bow in the back of her dress and the ties go all the way down the to the bottom of the dress.

Here is the jacket that I made to go with it, it was an old shirt of my husband's that he wore only one time for pictures for Christmas. It is very soft, sued black. I am very happy how it turned out! Now all I have to do is buy her a black headband to go with it.
