Getting Ready for Easter

 

 

My little sweet granddaugther

spent this past weekend with us.

And we worked on some crafts for Easter.

 

First we made a garland from plastic easter eggs. 

That was fun and easy.

She picked out the color pattern and

lined up all the easter eggs to thread onto the string.

We hung the garland on the inside of the window.

You can see the garland in the picture on the inside.

 

Then we made a banner from burlap. Cut out a purple

burlap bunny attached him by sewing with some of the

purple thread from the purple burlap.

Stenciled Happy Easter on the banner.

I must admit I did most of the work on the banner,

but she picked out the colors and supervised:)

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.
