Easter Dress Maybe

I now like Amy Butler fabric.
I know, it's about time.
Funny thing about it is that I usually like each print individually but trying to pick some that work together...
let's just say she doesn't make it as easy as Moda.

So I was thinking Easter Dress when I put this one together last night (patternless as usual)...
can I just say, SOOOOOOOO easy!
Maybe I'll make my next post a tutorial on this one.
Have a fabulous day and make something great!

Part 2 of the alligator dress

The second dress.
Much better fit, and I'm slightly humored that it's still a "knot" dress...
but those buttons my mom bought with the fabric were a necessity!
I love them!
Still have the best mom.

And didn't my little who do a great job at modeling this one?
Look at that baby attitude!
Ahh, she makes it so much fun.

First Knot Dress

Yesterday I was completely excited to get a project done that had been planned for what seems like forever!

A knot dress for the little who.

I'm sure you've seen these ALL over Etsy.

At $40+ each I would feel beyond guilty if I bought one (when I have a serger and sewing machine... haha!) so I bought this fabric 5 months ago thinking I would do it.

Well, my mother-in-law is getting remarried this next Saturday so it finally gave me the motivation to make the little who a new cute dress...

I think it turned out fabulously (especially as I like to "wing it" without a real pattern).

So can you tell I haven't even ironed it out yet with the giant crease down the middle in the front?

I was using that as my midline to match everything up... haha!

The little who LOVED LOVED LOVED wearing it.

And the back, with the knot tied sash.

What a sash!

I love the flair of this fabric (Urban Couture by BasicGrey for Moda), the giant pleats in the skirt, the contrast band, and the knots!

Oh those cute knots!

I knew she needed one of these.

Now to go make a matching headband and flower with the leftovers.

Another one...

Loved the first one so much I made this newborn set for a friend who's due in two weeks. I'm out of control! Shoe pattern can be found here. Dress pattern I made up... as usual.
