Maddie's New Summer Dress

My growing granddaughter modeling

her new maxi dress I made for 

her this past week.

 She enjoyed that it had a twirl in the dress!!

I purchased the pattern on Etsy and the pattern and 

website follows.

It did take about 3 1/2 yards for a size 6.

There are a lot of ruffles in the dress.

It was pretty easy to make. 

The website is here

I got the pattern very quick plus bought two more patterns

I made the lace leggings, but forgot to get a picture of her in the leggings.

They turned out very cute!

 VioletteFieldThreads is the name of the Etsy shop, love her patterns!

Easter Dress

 This is the pattern that I used to make my DGD her Easter Dress. 

 It is a cute and pretty easy pattern to use.  I made it pretty much to the pattern directions, but I think next time I use it, I will disregard the tulle attached to the lining.  It does help it to flare out, but for a silky fabric, I like the dress to not be so puffy.

I used a green cotton that minics a damask.  Then used hot pink for the machine embroidery monogram and the sash,  there is also a little embroidery edging on the lining like the one on the pattern.  It is a little hard to see on the dress I made.

I think I will also make the scrug, but will use a different pattern.  This pattern uses knit for the scrug and I have another short sleeve scrug pattern for woven fabrics.
