I wanted to make a special dress for
Ally to wear for her 1st birthday party this Saturday. I've heard
pillowcase dresses are easy. She needed a butt cover as well and I
found a very easy cover pattern.
You can't try to be perfect on the cover. It just won't work for the
legs because they're round and round stuff doesn't sew or iron around
neatly. The dress started out with just the fish fabric but I figured
that if I was sewing I might as well make it reversible. You know, kids
have spills and such, so that if it got dirty I could flip it around
and have a clean dress. :) I found a pattern
that I liked and used it to draft my own for Ally's size. I used bias
tape for the hem because I HATE hemming things and I really suck at it.
The fabric is from my stash (I'm on a no spending craft budget these
days) and I found the ribbon in my stash too. Who knew I had 7/8"
yellow ribbon? Random. All it in all, I think it urned out pretty cute
if I do say so myself!
Take a look below and see what Ally's going to wear for her special birthday party!
One side is fish. LOVE this fabric!
The other side is a fun tie dye. I've been looking for a reason to use this. I think it's PERFECT!
