It’s so much fun having two lovely little nieces, this Christmas I took advantage of it and made them a cute dress each. I so wish that I was more into sewing when Lil was little, she would have had the best wardrobe ever! Oh well, for now I’ll have to get my little girl sewing fix by making things for Poppy and Nancy!
This one was for Poppy. I used the free pattern for the Cross Over Pinafore found here. It was very straight forward and easy to sew. The pinafore is reversible, giving two dresses in one. I also made a nappy cover using Dana‘s free pattern here. Because the dress is so open in the back, it really needs something underneath, especially for Summer. A pair of tights would look cute for cooler weather.
And this one was for Nancy:
I made these dresses before I found out I was having a baby boy and while I was in production-line mode, sewed another one for myself *just in case*. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it…present box for another little girl or maybe I’ll hang onto it for another day.
