I am ADDICTED! That's the first step, right? Admitting you have a problem? Well, it isn't a problem - yet. I am addicted to sewing for Cora. Dresses are the "monkey on my back". It started quite innocently, sewing a skirt onto a onesie making a Onesie dress (see previous post for link).
Then, I started on the
Itty Bitty Baby Dress from Made by Rae. I say started because it isn't finished yet. As usual, I made it more complicated than it is! I made some mistakes, corrected them then made more mistakes which made me put it down out of frustration. Easy fixes but it means undoing most of the bodice and re-sewing it. I will finish it by the end of the week though!
Today's project is from my new favorite blog,
Prudent Baby. The
Pillowcase Baby Dress looked super easy and cute so I had to give it a try!
Turns out it WAS super easy AND cute!
This is a pretty good view of the bottom trim. I used a multi-colored ric-rac I had on hand. So cute! I think my favorite use for it so far!
As you can see, instead of a single, wide length of ribbon, all I had on hand were thin ribbons so I used 4 colors as one ribbon for the tie.
The dress only took me a few hours to complete (I am sure it will be less next time!) and that included making the ribbon flowers and sewing them on the dress! I will be making more of these for sure! I know some little girls who need new dresses.
Next project? Finish the Itty Bitty Dress. Then? Some felt baby shoes, tights, bloomers, who knows?!
