Vintage Rose Wrap Belt

I was too lazy to make Bexley a rockin' 4th of July dress this year, so I used Kiki's idea for the rose wrap belt and added it to a denim dress. So easy and SO cute!!!

Easter Dress

Peekaboo photos is one of my very favorite photo sites and inspiration for outfits and accessories I want to try for Bexley. I've seen these skirts in her pictures several times and always wanted to make one for Bex.

I had every intention of making Bexley's Easter dress this year with these skirts in mind, but couldn't find the motivation when the time came. So instead I took this dress that was just a hair too short and made it work.

I just added a slip, basically, and sewed ruffles on the back half and add a couple of ruffle layers on the front to add the length. Then I cut an opening in the back to show off the ruffles. Last, I sewed a strip of ribbon around the entire base of the top layer skirt to finish it off.

When Kiki and I got together a few weeks ago we were sharing our ideas for our girls' dresses and had the same idea, I couldn't wait to see her's from complete scratch. And she did not dissapoint! Check it out here.

Craft fair dresses, love this tutorial!!!

Little Girls Tunic

I've been dying to make one of these little tunics for months now and finally got around to it before I head to a baby shower tonight. I made the arm holes a little too wide so it's a little big for Bexley, but hopefully it will fit this soon-to-arrive little girl next summer.

And a few hair pieces to go along with it.

Summer Dress

These are the world's cutest and simplest dresses! I should have made three at the same time to keep one for Bex, but the last thing she needs right now is dresses, so maybe next spring.

At least she got to try one on for a quick shoot.

Dress for a Little One

Every time patterns go on sale for $.99-1.99, you should buy at least one! So this was the last one I bought from Joann's. But you can get it here as well.
I made the one featured in the picture, but added a ruffle around the neckline, a fabric lining around the body of the dress and a few flowers, including a removable clip on the top.
The "funniest" part about this dress is that it's actually BACKWARDS!!! I was completely done and feeling so accomplished, but decided to add a few flowers (with fabric glue because I had already put the sewing machine away). Then I realized I glued them to the back of the dress... what the "h"?! Oh well, they ARE NOT coming off, so I'm just going to make a couple of more to put on the front of the dress, then their will be flowers all over!
