I bought this really funky patterned fabric off the clearance pile at Joann's last week. It was on sale for an additional 50% off & for some reason I liked it. I couldn't pass it up. I kept coming back to it. And so I purchased my 3/4 yard & paid $1.50 for it & brought it home. I did feel the need to explain to the employee that was cutting that I knew the fabric was weird, I just had a thing for it. Like I needed to keep my street cred at Joann's?! Dylan wasn't really very fond of it when I showed it to him...or maybe he was just annoyed that I had bought even more fabric.
Anyway, I had a vision for it & here it is. I made this dress for Sadie. No pattern. It's not perfect. There are some bumps & tucks here & there that I should really go back & fix, but I think I'm just going to leave it as is. Except after seeing it on her, I'd like to bring the hem up a few inches.
Sadie didn't think twice about the crazy print. She asked me if she could wear it today & tomorrow & the next day. I call that a success. :)

Definitely a funky pattern but WAYYY cute! I like what you did with it! How sweet that she loves it and wants to wear it so much! :)
Very cute!
This is so cute. I think the fabric worked perfect for this little dress. I have just started doing a little sewing and am just amazed by it ... it's so cool that something so useful can be created. Humm, is that a weird thought?
I recently made my very first dress, for my 3 year old adorable cousin. When I mailed it to her, she wanted to wear it that night ... that is a good feeling!
Here it is:
