Kylie's Birthday Dress

I made another dress from a McCall's pattern, this one is for my grand daughter Kylie's 5th birthday!
The fabric is called "A Little Sweetness" by Tasha Noel.



The bag is called Lined Drawstring Bag, and is a free tutorial by Jeni Baker, you can find it here.




 I love the script fabric :)




Here's Kylie in her dress, it fit her really well!





This is a great pattern, I've made it 4 times now :)

Reagan's Birthday Dress

This is the third dress I've made from this McCall's pattern.


It's fun to sew, in spite of all the gathers!


This fabric is called "Farmer's Daughter" by Vanessa Goertzen from Lella  Boutique.
The script fabric has such pretty sayings.


I found some red gingham buttons which I love!


 There is a big tree in our backyard and the leaves turn a brilliant red when the cooler weather comes.
I love taking photos by this tree :)


Reagan's favorite colors are pink and purple.
It's hard to find pretty purples, but when I saw this little rosebud design and the big pink roses on black, I knew I had to use it.


I think the pink is very striking against the black.



Just like the other dresses I made, there's a bag to match.
The lining is the black polka dot fabric.



Here's pretty little Reagan, she just turned 7 and lost her second front tooth the day after this photo was taken :)
She looks more beautiful than ever!



 This is the McCall's pattern I used, I have it in 2 sizes.


I still have one more of these dresses to make before Christmas!

Neo's Birthday Dress

I loved making this dress so much (you can see it here), that I made it again for Neo's 7th birthday.


The fabric line is called "Menagerie" by Rifle Paper Co for Cotton and Steel.
I used some green vintage buttons :)


Three different colors of ribbon for the tie in the back.


Some pretty lace detail on the sleeve.


 I love the camouflaged tigers, leopards and exotic birds!


I made a lined bag to match.


 I love these bags so much, I created a board on Pinterest for them.
You can find the tutorial here.



Here's a photo of my grand daughter Neo in her dress, 
she's such a beautiful little 7 year old!


It's a little big, but she'll grow into it :)


I'm going to make two more of these cute dresses for two more little grand daughters, before the end of the year :)
Stay tuned!
