Have any of you ever checked out DANA at MADE? She's pretty much, awesome. Her blog is beautiful, full of incredible tutorials and great pictures. I check MADE everyday. I sort of feel like I'm her friend, even though we don't really know each other. = ) Anyhow, she came out with a new pattern for a little girls dress. I made a couple of them. Here they are....
What I love about this pattern?? No buttons, no zippers, and a dress/skirt....all requirements for Kate (she's a very particular little girl). It taught me how to do faux smocking. Technically it's called "shirring". Where you sew with elastic thread to get the look and feel shown below. Perfect for little girls.
