Dresses to go

I'll be taking a bit of a blog break for Summer. Here are some dresses I made using the Sienna pattern from Lil Blue Boo and The Warhol Dress from Dana of made. The Salvation Army had a $1 a bag sale and I came home with 16 shirts!

Both of these patterns are super easy. I like changing it up a bit.

With the Warhol dress I made, I slashed the pattern across the top to fit the shirt I wanted to use. I don't think that was a good decision. I'm going to sew some vertical ribbons up the right side to even it out. I also added inches to the arm hole after trying it on the kid pinned. That was a mistake because it's huge. I'm not going to rip it out because it will fit next year. I doubled it over a did a quick hand tack that I'll pick out once she grows.

Enjoy the rest of July!

Etsy Babyshower

There was a thread in the Etsy forums a while ago about an Etsy Babyshower. Basically Etsy shops send stuff to expecting moms who are other Etsy sellers. The mom assigned to me is waiting until the birth to know the sex of the baby. That was a challenge because at the time, most of my stuff was not really unisex. I have stuff for boys and stuff for girls. So I sent Bean Beastlyn, one of my first onesies because it was the most unisex. I was worried that she wouldn't like it.

I got a convo the other day and the mom LOVED the onesie and was super happy with it. Yay!

She sent along this picture and sent her thanks.
