One of my best friends just had a beautiful baby girl the day after Christmas. Because this is her second girl and she already has all the basic necessities, she decided to wait until the baby was born to have a shower. That is in a couple weeks, but I was wanting to make a little something to give to her now.
Abby from Sew Much Ado shared this FREE Infant Peasant Dress Pattern and Tutorial and I just HAD to make it! The fabric I used is Riley Blake Sugar & Spice by The Quilted Fish.
The pattern is awesome and the tutorial is so easy to follow and has great step by step photos. The pattern is the same for the front and back, so I added a little ribbon tag to what I decided was the "back".
I did this because there is one side that has more of the red flowers and I wanted that to be the front.
Here is the dress on that sweet baby girl! I added a pair of newborn pants to keep her little legs warm.
In the summer this dress would be perfect with some bloomers.
*Sigh*I am so in love with her:)
Sewing for girls is so much fun!
It's probably a good thing that I am having another boy;)

So cute, Amy! I love the fabric. My little girl is starting to get into the larger sizes that we didn't get so many of at her baby shower, and this looks like the perfect thing to fill up her wardrobe again :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, so cute! And the outfit too :)
