Sew and Tell Friday: Peasant Dresses and Tops

Thank you for your kind comments on my last post. It did kind of feel like a break up, but I feel more relief than anything.

Moving on. in good break up fashion!

Those little girl clothes I mentioned? Yep. They're adorable. I was really busy for several weeks with these, and now you get to see them!

Della got a new dress and a new shirt. The dress is made from Sandy Gervais' Frolic line of fabric, and the dress is a Michael Miller print I picked up at Hancock Fabrics.

Another of the shirts, this time made with more of Sandy Gervais' Frolic fabric and one from the Hunky Dory by Chez Moi line. I think this is a really fun combo.

Finally, this one is made with several of the Bliss Fabrics. side note: This fabric is gorgeous. I liked it when I saw the pictures, but once I got my hands on it and started using it, I really loved it. It is the perfect weight for quilting cotton, and the print is really deceptively detailed. I'm glad I bought extra!

All of the items were loosely were based off this pattern, but I made quite a few modifications along the way (including sizing, how & where to place the elastic, using a serger, etc.) I'll try to get a review out soon.



p.s. This is how things usually go when trying to do a photo shoot with the babe.

EDITED TO ADD: This post is linked up with Amy Lou Who's Sew & Tell party. I thought it wasn't happening this week, which is why I didn't do this to start off!
