Simplicity 7365

Gotcha! Not another top for me this time! hehe. I’m such a jokester. yuk yuk.

Seriously though, I’m kind of tired of seeing myself on the blog everyday for the past week, so here’s a little bit o’ (retro) Sadie cuteness.

I picked this fab vintage pattern up thrifting the other day and made a dress for Sadie with it. (bonus with used patterns: they’re sometimes already cut out for you!) Although it said it was a size 1 it was big on her.

I really liked the collar scoopy thing. It was a really simple dress, and so fun to make it using the cute vintage directions and pictures. (which, I think were clearer back then, than they are now!) It was missing the back facing pattern, but it was pretty simple to draft it up. (….draft it up, draft it up, draft it up, draft it up…my daddy taught me good…tell me you know what I’m referencing here! No? Go google “back it up lady” . lol)

The fabrics are from the Riley Blake Farm Fresh line, from my awesome sponsor, Lark Cottons. Main fabric is Farmhouse in Cream and the accent fabric is Haybale in Pink…I also added the big button for some interest…I wish I’d had two matching buttons but alas it was not meant to be. It’ll be flying solo on this dress. Hope it’s up for the challenge.

Sadie has started this coming-in-close thing with the camera at the ends of photo shoots. teehehe.
