Today, i made this dress for my granddaughter. When i told her mom (my daughter) i was making some dresses/clothing for her this week, i was wondering if Sadie would draw something for me.. She did, and i will use it on another outfit this week but for now i am using something she wrote. My daughter scanned what she wrote and i enlarged it to fit on a pocket, and then i traced it and embroidered it onto the pocket.
Here is the fabric i bought because of what Sadie wrote and because i thought it went with the Kid's Art theme.
This is the pattern i chose to make her dress with. I did alter it slightly. The dotted ruffle according to the pattern is suppose to be just half of the front and it was supposed to be top-stitched raw and you were suppose to ravel it. That is sooo hard for me to have raw edges..so i made the ruffle go all the way around and i sewed it into the seam..no raw edges.
Here is the finished dress:
Here is the pocket with Sadie's writing:
Here is a close up of the bodice:
