Little Dress
Nov. 28th, 2010 09:04 amI love making everyday clothes, but I wanted to do something just a little dressy for a holiday party this weekend.
I bought the brown/pink corduroy dot fabric a while ago specifically to make a dress to coordinate with the patterned tights (cutest tights ever!) which we got free from a friend in a big bag of old baby clothes. I didn’t end up having enough corduroy for a whole dress, though, so I paired it with a scrap of printed cotton from the stash.
( More photos and notes )
This went pretty quick, just a couple hours all together, and it turned out so well! It’s a little roomy, but it’s easier to get a non-stretchy woven on and off if it is looser.
Now that F is walking, I am seeing more dresses in our future. They really don’t make sense for a crawling baby, but she’s really moving with the walking thing lately.
