My sewing yesterday started off with shorts and morphed into this dress-a Leah tunic, lengthened, and with a band added around the bottom. Also with some cute coordinating fabric. I've mainly been making dresses this week because they're all Sadie will wear lately. Kind of annoying cause she won't wear the cute tops I've made her, but fun also cause-hey, more dresses are always fun to make!
The main fabric I used is from Moda, by Sandy Gervais, called Lovely Circle Flower Babies Breath...(loong name). The fabric I used for the bodice and band around the bottom is from Bluehill fabrics, I believe, I managed to lose the selvage though. lol. I got this while I was in Utah.
It's the perfect flowy summer dress.
She agrees-has been wearing it all day yesterday and today so far! Plus I love the coral color on my little strawberry blond. :D
Here's a close up of the fabric cause I know it's a tiny print. SOO cute in real life though. Why is it when I use up some CUTE fabric I always want to buy more, just to be sure I have some in my stash? lol! Am I the only one? Hope not!

OMG this is ADORABLE! I texted my best friend who happened to be at Joann and she is getting fabric to make similar dresses for her girls :)
I die. Gorgeous.
Can we be virtual sewing buddies?
Or, can you package some of your awesomeness and mail it to me (with a few cloves of garlic).
This is so sweet! I love the pictures. And I'm the same way with once I use up my favorite fabrics. So funny!!
LOVE the fabric combination and flowy shape. The button is pretty cool, too. Great job as always!
Super adorable. And so awesome that Anna's version was featured over at Elsie Marley! You're so famous!
So pretty! LOVE the fabric combo.
I discovered your blog through the Knock-Off series you hosted with Kojo Designs and just wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying what you have to offer. :) I'm expecting our first girl in August and have been gobbling up all of your dress tutorials!
WOW! You are amazing to get so much sewing done and so creatively as well! With 4 kids I definitely don't get that much time to sew but wish I could..maybe i should get off the computer :)Kristy from www.apronsandapples.blogspot.com my thrifty, diy, crafty blog
This dress is supercute and your girl looks adorable in it!
What a sweet little dress!! Love the fabric combination. I love tiny flower prints. I'm kind of the same way but it's more like I can't bare to cut up my favorite fabrics, and I can never find a worthy enough project to use them up on.
Beautiful dress, beautiful!
Ooo, I'm gonna try this one! Kadie is obsessed with dresses too. So I've been wanting to make some fun ones for this summer.
By the way, my Anna dress is soon to come to the flickr group! I just have to fix the waist band. I did it a little too small. :(
Yes, I LOVE that fabric! I love that color on her too!!! The expressions on her face are so adorable!!!!
The clothes you sew are amazing. Love the fabrics and details.
You have the best fabric taste. Just thought I would tell you. Every dress I think "Oh, I just love that one...it is my favorite." And then I see another and think the VERY SAME THING. I really am going to start sewing little girl dresses. For whom? I have no idea. But, you just make me want to try. :)
It is the perfect summer dress!

It is so lovely! Please share the pattern you used... Thank you!
Very pretty :)
I just LOVE this dress and am new to your blog. Where can I find this pattern? Thanks so much for sharing!
Beautiful fabric and girl! I love fun summery dresses. The hairclip is so cute too. Did you make it? I can't tell if it's felt or what. Mind posting pics or a tutorial?
@ Jenny-Thanks! It is made of felt, just simple flower and leaf shapes cut out and glued together and then to a clip!
I found your blog via Sew, Mama, Sew! today and I loove this dress. I couldn't resist pinning it: http://pinterest.com/iftoyscouldtalk/.
