My Heart is Just Melting

10.28.2009

The in-laws are gone, so things are getting back to normal. I have had the itch to sew some things for my little one and whipped this up last night.

Refashioned Toddler Dress

I was inspired by this dress at Anthropologie. I absolutely adore how it came out! I made it from two different shirts I had.

I love how the little ruffles bounce when she walks. She just melts my heart. What can I say? I love my daughter and think she is just a cutie.

The only problem I had was I made it too tight at first. I added a triangular panel to the front to help out. Before I did that, she looked like she was going clubbing or something. Not something anyone, let alone a two year old should be wearing :) lol.

  23. "Do I see a pattern in the near future????"

    You know what, I think I'll add it to my list :)

    "Could you do some pretty winter gear for the lil' ones, or for us big girls?"

    As soon as it starts cooling down here a bit I think I'll be inspired too :) It's just still in the 80's for us, so it's hard to even think of long sleeves and pants at this time!
