This year, I'm really wanting to expand and improve my sewing, so I decided to try to diligently follow along with Project Run and Play, though I'll probably skip week. The first week's challenge was a pattern remix of The Cottage Home Mama's Party Dress. My version was inspired by a prom dress I saw on (you guessed it) Pinterest.

To make my version, instead of having a contrast band at the bottom of the skirt, I created two skirts and gathered the top one in 6 places.
The tutorial was super lovely. So easy and speedy!
After pictures, Eleanor insisted on staying in her new 'princess dress'. She was so cute sitting there, I couldn't help taking another picture of her.
I also used snaps instead of buttons, because I was worried the mystery fabric I was using wouldn't hold up to it.
I love the big bow!

Despite being unsure about the two fabrics I was using, I think it turned out rather well. It reminds me of sunflowers.

That is super cute. Any little girl would love this dress! And it's so nice and cheery for this dreary time of year.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Both of my girls love it! I'm considering putting it in with their dress up clothes so they can wear it more.
Deletevery cute!! love the bright sunshin-e yellow!!
ReplyDeleteI know! It is such a happy color! Thanks!
Deleteawww - the yellow is so sweet, and the mix of a gingham with the shinier fabric just gives it this great 'picnic princess' feel that I love.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love the country feel it gives it too!
DeleteI love it!!! You and I have good tastes because that is exactly what I was going to do!!! lol!!! I might go a different route so we don't have the same sort of remix! Your daughter is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow funny! Thank you!
DeleteLove the gingham yellow and smart on the snaps! Really bright and fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think I've been a little snap happy lately. So much faster than doing buttons.
DeleteOh I love this! It reminds me of Belle in Beauty & the Beast!
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteSo pretty! Beautiful job......I love this variation on the skirt. Thank you so much for sharing!!
