Little Girl Dress from Scratch

A friend of mine has a little girl a few years older than my 4 year old and she recently gave us a few favorite hand-me-downs for enjoyment. One was a dress she had gotten from Old Navy that is very well-loved and terribly cute. I loved the style so much and wanted to figure out how to make it so that I could make one for my friend's daughter, just in a bigger size. 

Since it was July, here it is in patriotic fabric...




And I finally figured out how to do shirring. 


Yikes! Shirring was quite the learning curve! Now it's incredibly easy and I hope I can make it that way for you too.

Tutorial to follow next week.

enjoy.

  2. Thank you, Mithon. It's super easy to make if you know your way around a sewing machine. Send me pictures if you make it!
