SPRING DRESS 2

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.

Add ruffles to Maternity dress

I have this dress from awhile ago. I think my sister-in-law gave it to me with bunch of other clothes that she collected from her friends ( I think) :-). Anyway, I wore this skirt for a long time even  and just last Sunday when I sewing other stuff, I decided to add ruffles on the neckline of my maternity dress.

It was also quite long that when I sit it always reach the floor and when I get up I always stepped on the bottom of my skirt. SO I chopped it off a quite a bit. I love the outcome and even my husband said that it was nicer now. I add belt so that it will look totally different, and it did!
