The Pillow Case Dress :o)

After making an outfit for Peanut to wear in my brothers wedding (that girl REFUSES to wear a dress {sigh}) I got bit by the creating bug :o) So I decided to sew a pillow case dress for Munchkin.

It was super easy. And I thought the heart applique made it a little more "fun".

Then I decided to make a pillow case dress for Bits.

* Disclaimer - Getting my 1yo monkey to stay still long enough for a picture is virtually impossible! So I apologize in advance for the poor quality pictures :o)

I did bring the sides in a little on hers. I was afraid it would look too much like she was wearing a bag if I didn't, lol. I also added a ruffled "pocket" to the front. I then threaded a ribbon through the pocket and it ties in the back.

Here is the back.

I was still feeling creative so I decided to make another dress for Bits.

I made the bodice out of a pillow case and then the skirt is the skirt off an old bedskirt!

I'm also contemplating making another, more elaborate dress for Munchkin. It's a little more involved though, so I'm a little nervous not having a pattern! It will be made from scraps and such I have laying around.........Which I probably wont use for anything else........So I probably should just go for it. There, I talked myself into it ;-) I'll keep you updated on how it goes!

Blessings,

Sweet Shot Tuesday 7/20/10

This week I'm a little behind in downloading pictures. I have several on memory cards, but I have yet to take the time to move them to my computer {sigh}. So, here are a couple of "sweet shots" of my kids taken at my cousins wedding.

This weeks challenge at iheartfaces is "All about babies". And since I have one (a baby, that is) I figured I'd enter! This is one of the shots I took when Little Bit was only 10 days old.

Sweet Shot Tuesday

OK, these are for Susan :o) After posting my last post she admonished me to simply get out the camera and take some pictures of the baby and post them! So, I did! I need more practice shooting indoors, the lighting in these turned out a little orange! I would have spent longer trying to mess with settings to get it right, but she was starting to get grouchy. And pictures of grouchy babies, just aren't very "sweet", lol.
