My BFF, Kristine of
Just Keep Sewing, sent me this pattern a while ago. I finally made it up for my kiddos last week but didn't review it yet.
Is it not the cutest??? It's a simple raglan sleeve dress. There are several variations in the envelope including dress with no ruffle, short-sleeved top with shorts, long-sleeved top with pants, and long dress with ruffles. I opted for full ruff-lage because my girls are very girly. The little girl on the left is So Sad because her sister is wearing the pink one which is Her Favorite Color. The one on the left is also the dramatic one. The white dress is a cotton interlock with not much stretch. I added elastic to the sleeves for some sleeve ruffles and I added a pink bow to the front. The bottom is finished with lace. I have never used lace to finish a hem before but it's so freaking easy. I may do that on all hems for the girls. The dress on the right is microfleece with a lace hem and sleeve hems. It also has a decorative "patch" on the front with a little embroidery.
Awwwww. :( She even looks sad in this picture. Pouty lips . . .
Here you can see the embroidery a bit better. This is made from my Font Engine software by Embird. Again, I removed the fill stitches and used the Redwork option on the border.
I used the font Jellodings from www.dafont.com.
Tonight: zippers in skirts! Must refuel with Earl Grey!
