Today is the day for the vintage holiday dress tutorial...and I am sorry but there are not 10 yards of tulle on this dress...(although I think it is just as cute.) I do show you in the tutorial how to add the tulle if you want to for all you ambitious or plain crazy sewers like I was.... or leave it plain and just as cute. Go HERE to get the tutorial.

Project Run and Play– “Girls of a Feather Dresses”
This week's challenge was to do a pattern remix of Lil Blue Boo's Sienna Dress. And here is what we made....The inspiration for these "Girls of a Feather" dresses was a late-night phone collaboration that went something like this:"What are we going to do to make the pattern different?""Let's do something more formal....because the pattern is pretty casual""I think we should do all white dresses....I love white on little girls""White........WITH FEATHERS!" And so it began. Since there are two ... View the Post

A 4th of July Cover Up
I showed you the boys' shorts on Friday....and here is Hannie's. As I said before, I kind of decided to do an understated 4th this year, and seersucker was calling my name.And since we were going to be with family at the lake this year for the 4th, I knew that we would be in and out of swimsuits all day...so Hannie's outfit turned into a 4th of July Swimsuit cover-up complete with a rounded collar and a few pintucks on the front for details.I actually made this dress out of a Pottery Barn crib ...

A Vintage Jumper
I used this vintage pattern.... (sorry for the crappy picture--the pattern itself has a super fuzzy image) to make this vintage jumper. I found this vintage 1950's fabric panel at an estate sale last summer--and fell in love with it. I had been holding/ hoarding it for a year, until I spied this pattern and thought that it would be darling together. I had some green fabric (binding left over from the Doll quilts), turquoise piping that matched perfectly....and some darling green vintage ... View the Post
