I have gazed longingly at so many sweet funky sundresses for baby girls, and every time I just can't bring myself to spend the big bucks on the ones I really love. I know, I just KNOW that I can make some just as great for her. But, I have issues with following patterns. (I also have issues when I don't follow patterns--go figure!) So I've been nervous. BUT, a few months ago I found some patterns from
a seller on Etsy that were adorable, affordable, and also looked fairly easy to follow. Last week a
local fabric store was having a great sale, so I bit the bullet--and I found great fabrics for a reasonable price.

| So pretty! |
The first pattern I attempted is the
Bella stripwork dress in size 12-18 months. It was very simple to sew and took hardly any fabric--less than a half-yard of the main color and just little pieces of the accent. Here's the result:

| Less than $3 worth of fabric! And quick to sew, too. |
I love the two-tone ruffle straps. Little Sister is wearing this dress today, despite less than ideal weather conditions. Hopefully she'll be able to wear it soon without the full body suit underneath!

| Aww, SNAP! My mom makes my clothes! |
More baby sundresses to come soon (and hopefully the weather to wear them will soon follow!)
Super cute, you are inspiring me to sew tonight!
