Baby girl dress I made

Posted on Mon 26 Mar 2007 at 09:01

Last week I took the time off the computer to do some sewing. I have been working on a few things. This was one of them. I had an old blue jean dress that did not fit anymore,and did not wear. I have been trying to make clothes for the children out of the clothes me and hubby have out grown. So this is my first success. I used mccalls pattern 2053. This will be our base girl pattern if we have a girl. We will not add the lace and the frillies. We are plain and simple. So here are the pictures.

I will be working on a dress shirt for calvin, out of one of chris's old shirts next.

What a great dress! I love this...and 'plain' is adorable, I think. Simplicity is always in 'style' and 'fashion' anyway.
You did a great job...very good use of non-computer time :o) We should all take your cue, I think!

Casondra,
What a beautiful dress, and I have never heard of the idea of using old clothes to make childrens' clothes. What a great idea.

Wonderful sewing job

Casondra,
You did a wonderful job on the dress. I really need to reclaim my sewing room and get back to it. I really do love to sew. I just hate sewing in a mess of clutter.
Hope you are feeling well.
God bless,
Jennie

Just thinking about you today so I popped in :) You must be getting pretty excited for the baby to come by now! The dress is adorable- no frills, just how I'd like it, too. Take good care of yourself,

Love,
Leah

The dress is beautiful. I love to recycle dresses too. I like to find them at the thrift stores for a dollar and make a new dress for my little daughter out of them.
Good job.
