Sewing project – A gift

April 1, 2007

This gift is destined for a little girl that is around Anya’s age.  I’m pretty sure her mommy doesn’t check my blog, and since I just COULDN’T WAIT to put this one up since it is so dang cute, here it is…

Lily's Dress

The dress, which is mostly from a pattern, is fully lined and snaps at the back.  The tucked pleat little belt has shirring on the back for it stretching to fit, and connects with snaps.  The little purse has fusible fleece inbetween the layers for added weight, and it has her name on it in iron-on letters.  I made the belt and purse from scratch.  The fabric is seersucker.

I just love how it turned out…perfect for the girly little girl that it is destined for!

  1. I ADORE that fabric! I’ve been looking at something similar at our Hancock Fabrics (am I allowed to say the name?). That dress is absolutely precious. One day I might be as good as you…

  2. Thank you Natalie and Lori. 🙂

    Natalie, yes you can say Hancock Fabrics. Where I got it from was a Mill End Textiles, which is a warehouse fabric store. See if there is one in your area, or a similar type of store. The fabric is cheaper and there is more of it! They don’t have much for notions so I usually have to go to chain store for those, but the prices on the fabric makes up for it.
