If you know me at all, you know I'm horrible at following tutorials. I usually give up, and figure it out myself. This is typically followed by grumpiness, cursing, a second (or third) Cherry Coke, and swearing off sewing for the rest of my life. Dramatic, I know.
But, typically following that, is an adorable handmade goodie that I'm quite proud of. I'm nothing, if not consistent.
This dress was actually made for the girls' friend, Grace, for her 2nd birthday, but my girls always test out other people's gifts...
First I started with this tutorial and bailed when the sleeves drove me to near tears. I mean, she actually wanted me to measure and draw out a pattern... the nerve...
After these photos, I sewed the bottom band shut and left the top buttons alone, so it could be unbuttoned.
Cute, huh? And the best part? This shirt once belonged to Grace's father. Happy Birthday, Grace - you adorable little thing!
