For baby, I took an Oshkosh corderoy jumper and made my own pattern from it.
The inspiration dress
My version
Baby's dress has a small ruffle flower sewn on with a button center, similar in design to this.
I made their headbands based on calico's tutorial.
In case you're interested, the bottom fabric is a seersucker stripe, the top fabric a cute calico print that coordinated. The polka dot is scraps left from Baby's Summertime Romper.

I love the fact that they are similar, but different too! These are so cute. An awesome job!

Those turned out great!! I love the second photo of the two of them together - so expressive.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job making a pattern from the corduroy jumper!!
What pretty summer time dresses! Wow, that is so creative of you to be able to adapt a pattern from a garment without deconstructing it! I wish I could do something like that. Actually, first I'd just like to actually make something WITH a pattern. Thanks for visiting Crafty Girls Workshop today! I'm sew happy to have a new crafty friend!

Great dresses. I am still working on that Popover Dress pattern for my little girl. I keep getting stuck with the pattern.

So cute! I'm a beginner sewer and took on curtains for the kids room. I now have left over fabric and was wanting to make a dress similar to the second. How hard is making your own pattern? I know clothes are much harder than curtains. I have a similar dress in the closet that I thought I could maybe use for a pattern. I so need a step by step tutorial on this! Are you up for it??
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my site from NFF, I'll be following your site!
