Make sure you visit Alida's website and check all the cool stuff that she have today. I am joining her new series of Calling all Kids link party.
I made another dress for my youngest daughter. I used the same fabric from this post. I just want both of my girl have matching dresses but not the same designs. I just don't know what to call this dress. I made the pattern from my daughter's old dress that was given to her by her Aunt.
I took me forever to make this since I don't know what to do with a limited fabric. Plus I was praying that this dress size will be just her size. I made so many dresses for my girls and when I finished it never fit for them because I did not add an allowance when I cut it. So, It was either too short or too narrow and won't fit.
Anyway, she loves it!
I add some pockets. I love the ruffles.
I didn't realized that my daughter is taller than I thought. I thought I add more allowance at the bottom of her dress. Well, I still can add it later though.
This is the dress that I made the pattern from. This dress now is too short on her.
Love the outcome!
Have a great one everyone and thanks for stopping by.
Wow, that is a great thing to sew our own kids clothes. I wish I can do that too :-)
