Tulle T-shirt Dress Tutorial
There is something about a dress that makes you feel like a princess and this one is a little extra! This tulle t-shirt dress tutorial starts with the Viewfinder Tee, a great basic knit tee! I used ivory tulle and a layer of lining fabric to make the skirt. I just attached it to the bottom of the tee. It's fancy but also super comfortable and easy to slip right on since the bodice is knit fabric! The Viewfinder Tee is a little bit long anyways, but the skirt also weighs it down just a bit, making it very elegant. I'm thinking I will make a few ...Continue Reading

little girl’s grid dress!
That is the face of a girl realizing her buttons are KITTY CATS!! Today's dress is the Zig Zag Dress pattern made in a plaid linen grid fabric. I love how preppy the look is (maybe partially due to the fake glasses!) but plaid and pleats always give me preppy vibes! The bodice is curved on this dress giving it a really cute swing. I always love pinning pleats so this one is a fun sew! Other details I love are the elastic sleeves, big buttons and facing on the inside! I made a big matching bow (why not!) and love this outfit! This fabric is ...Continue Reading
