I’ve been working on sewing little things for my ganddaugters…
This little wrap dress was so much fun to sew!
.
.
The pattern I used is New Look 6442. I got it at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon.
Since the pattern doesn’t have a zipper or buttonholes, it was pretty easy and fast.
I don’t think I ever make a pattern without making some changes, and this time I just made a few…
.
I thought a little rose would add to the pretty.
I made it a pin so that you can take it off to wash the dress.
.
.
I also added a tiny ruffle to the edge.
I thought pink gingham would go nicely with the blue/floral fabric.
.
.
I lined the dress with the gingham and made the bow ties from the blue fabric.
I thought about using the pink for the ties, but it didn’t look good.
.
The back looks cute, too!
.

When it’s cold, she can wear a shirt underneath and so the dress becomes a jumper.
.

I really enjoyed making this dress, but I’ll enjoy even more…watching her wear it!

I thought the sunglasses were a fun addition π

Happy sewing!

There’s nothing cuter than little dresses!
You’re right! They sure are fun to make! π
This is the cutest dress ever! Love the changes you made.
Thank you! Sometimes little changes here and there add a lot,
Your creativity, and love for certain little girls, sure made one stinkin’ cute dress! π
Haha, Thanks, Laura! π
I love this so much! What a blessing you are! You have me thinking of the little dresses my momma made for my first born. She had so much fun and so did we! God bless you and your little ones!
Yes, I hear ya… my Mom made most of my clothes growing up and even made my wedding dress. I still have some little dresses she made that my daughter and now my granddaughter got to wear. It’s a blessing to have some of those things that hold soecial memories for us.
It’s beautiful! I love the gingham ruffle and flower pin, they make it extra-special and co-ordinate so well
Thank you for your kind comment and for stopping by! Adding a little bit of a coordinating fabric usually adds so much!
Daisy – the dress is adorable and I love your embellishments. Seriously, what is not to love in terms of gingham? The flower is simply perfect for this jumper!
Thanks, Kandy! So good to hear from you! Blessings to you and your beautiful family! π
Perfect Daisy!! You are so right — the little gingham rose just wakes the fabric up– and the cute little ruffle!! It’s so small– seems hard to get all those little seams just right! Your’e amazing… I’m sure she’ll look adorable!!
That is beautiful! You are very talented!
