The theme for last week's Project Run & Play was 'adult inspired'. I figured you could never go wrong if you looked to style icon Jackie O, and took her iconic dress and adapted it for my little girl.
Inspiration:

Entry:
I love this dress! Want your very own little style icon? For the tutorial and pattern pieces, click HERE.
Want to know how I made the adorable pill box hat that went with the outfit?
Found a great tutorial HERE. The tutorial is for an adult hat, but I kept the size specifications and just used it for my daughter and found it fit her perfectly.
My only dilemma? This week's theme is Retro / Vintage...DOH!
Happy Sewing everyone :)

Oh yeah, I can just see us all out on a boat with long gloves on. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe dresses are SO cute, but your little girl is way cuter than Jackie O. ever was. :-)
Super sweet! Love your fabric choice!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog this weekend. Great stuff! This dress in gorgeous! I've posted it on my blog, The Handmade Experiment in a Must Make Monday post - http://wp.me/pkcUM-DO
ReplyDeleteDoes your pattern include seam allowance? Or are the pattern lines the seam lines already? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this tutorial. I just made my 3 year old one out of a thrift store duvet cover (for only $2!). It is going to be her Easter dress. By the way, do you have a pattern/tutorial for the little blue half cami you made too? It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this and am definitely planning on making an Easter dress with this! I was wondering about the shrug also! If there is a pattern for that, I would LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI love how the hat picture looks awkward, like "what's the hat for?" Very cute! Great job!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to stop by and link up to my Make & Share 1st edition today and come back every friday thru saturday!
