summer summer summer time

Since it's practically summer in Arizona, I thought it was appropriate to make some sundresses for Ivy. Who can resist a baby in a sundress? I am the worlds worst sewer, so a thank you goes to my Mom, who has found something I can sew that is somewhat fool-proof.
Don't be alarmed if this is all Ivy wears for the rest of her life.
   **For those that have asked, I didn't use a pattern. It's essentially an elastic waist skirt with sleeves sewed on.

Oh I love those little dresses!! Such cute fabric! Hawaii is seriously lacking in that area.....

Jocelyn said...

Those are cute! If you need another idea, I have a friend who has made summer dresses out of pillowcases for her little girl. They are really cute and she tells me they're ridiculously easy! I bet you can find tutorials for that on the webz.

Ah, so true. Babies in sun dresses are pretty irresistible. I am jealous of your summer-like weather!

Ooh! How sweet she looks! And check out all that hair! My 16 month-old is still rockin' the bald baby comb-over. Lucky kid.

If only I were as crafty and classy as Stacie.. then I could fulfill my dream of dropping out and becoming the ultimate housewife!

PS: Ivy is an absolute doll! We need you see you guys more often.

no one can resist it. That baby is so cute.

Trina said...

Crazy adorable, omg. Is it sad that I have to ask what is an elastic waist skirt? Like some elastic, then sew the material around it to their size then add on the little sleeves? I'm totally making some of these. my girls will die.

Melany said...

so super cute. i love the wide straps! and i already know how to make an elastic waist skirt so this is perfect! also, just a "mommy tip"...don't store all her dresses away once she grows out of them, they turn into cute tops like 3 to 6 months later. love that about girl clothing.

angela hardison said...

aww, cute! they look great.

b. said...

love the blue and white polkadots! i want one!

They're gorgeous! Good work!

Whitney Kofford said...

Oh my, I am new to your blog and might I say, I was thinking about that cute little Ivy dancing all day! This blog is for sure being bookmarked!

Carrie said...

TOO cute. I love the bebe wayferers too. It's pretty ridiculous when a baby is more fashionable than I.

Dangerford said...

give yourself some credit sewing is not easy, and you should probably show me how to make these. Newborns like dresses too right? serious question.

Jenni Austria Germany said...

i think she looks so much liek her dad!

Jacque said...

i think you've got some mad skills! those are adorable!
