Spring Dresses in Under an Hour!
I’ve been doing some more spring sewing for the girls! It is still cheaper (at their ages) to make their clothes. Especially little dresses! A dress that takes less than a yard of fabric is certainly more inexpensive than a pair of shorts and a shirt. These little peasant dresses are so perfect for spring and summer!
A friend recently gave me a big box of fabric. Many prints were things I didn’t think I’d ever use, but were really nice fabrics. Like these Easter prints. I’ve never made the girls holiday dresses, but when someone hands you a stack of Easter prints and you have your go-to quick dress pattern that takes less than an hour to make…suddenly you have Easter dresses and springtime school dresses!
This fabric was one that I wasn’t sure about, but when the dress was finished I absolutely loved it! Those oval eggs and bunnies give it such a charming vintage look. Now I have a stack of fabrics ready to go for more peasant dresses.
The pattern I used is a pdf from Whimsy Couture Sewing Patterns. I added a dainty lace ruffle to the bottom of the dresses and trim of the pockets. I love sewing patterns that don’t require buttons, snaps or zippers. That’s what makes these dresses so quick to whip up!
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
The bottom photo of them holding hands and looking at each other is priceless! That’s one of those center stage photos!
Love the dresses, so wish I could sew I am seriously sewing challenged haha not for lack of trying and not having a good machine. Nothing ever comes out “normal”
Love the postings and I do look forward to what you are up to next.
