Ruffle Peasant Dress for Mady


I had originally planned to make Mady a whole bunch of pillow case dresses. In my mind they would be the simplest and easiest style to go with for my pretty new-to-sewing self. But then we ran into the problem of them being VERY summery and I wanted to make something she could wear right now (I'm impatient like that).

So I turned to my friend Google. Who happened to bring me to one of my favourite blogs, TaDa Creations, and a tutorial that she did for a ruffled peasant dress.

 
I don't know how I missed it when she first posted it (though maybe I started following her right after?). Anyway, I knew this was the dress for me.

I'm pretty proud since it meant I had to adjust a pattern a bit and went a bit beyond my normal realm of sewing (I had to put in sleeves!). But I love the end result.


I love it so much, I might even have to make a few more. :) Mady, of course, loves it too.
Thanks Angel for the tutorial. And seriously, you have to go look at the clothes she makes. Totally adorable!
