a little Easter dress
Just popping in today to share some photos of this little spring dress! It's becoming a tradition to make a bunny print dress for my daughter every Easter.

Easter is coming up quick and I haven't gotten my fill of bunnies yet! So here is one of my last bunny projects, a bunny slippers pattern! (Also see the free bunny plush pattern if you missed it!)

pattern fusion // sophie shift + callie top in LEOPARD!
Another Pattern Fusion! I'm loving just mashing two patterns together, it's super fast and fun! This is two of my own patterns, the Sophie Shift with the Callie Top, both from the Garden Party Collection. The Sophie Shift is a simple shift dress with a zipper in the back. I sewed it up in this leopard knit fabric (from Girl Charlee, it's still available!) so I left the zipper out. The simple modification is using the small ruffle from the Callie Top, and sewing it in the sleeve! I also skipped the collar and just ...Continue Reading

And since it is made out of knit, it's extra comfy. I'm thinking I will get a lot of use out of this jumpsuit in the summer. It almost feels like a maxi dress in how cool and lightweight it is, if that makes sense. This is another Pattern Fusion, which means it's super easy to make! The two patterns are my Zippy Top pattern and the Go To Patterns Go To Knit Pants, which ...Continue Reading
