The Sweet Dress

I love this pattern so much I had to share it. It is The Sweet Dress by Leila and Ben. You can get the pattern at You Can Make This. 


It is a simple peasant style dress with elastic neck and arms. I made the 3T size. (Sienna measured 37" tall today at the doctor!) It was really easy to sew and would be great for a beginner. The hardest part was all the ironing at the beginning....but I like that the instructions had all the ironing in one step!


I picked this starfish fabric up at Joann's (the side says it was designed and made exclusively for them so I think that is the only place you can get it). I loved the bright beachy colors....so perfect for summer!

    That is adorable! This looks like a pattern that you could make using a pillowcase. Hmmm...

    Hey there, just wanted to say Hi & good job. I found your blog through, I dunno, possibly a tutorial you posted or something. I found you so charming that I read your entire backlog, admiring all your gorgeous projects, and then added you on bloglines. I am not always the most faithful commenter, but I'm working on that, but I love your stuff and just wanted you to know you have another blogfollower :) <3
