I love sewing with vintage fabrics and this maxi dress pattern is just perfect for some rare vintage Holly Hobbie fabric.

abric is quilting cotton from Wal-mart and from my local Ben Franklin - I adjusted the skirt to have a contrasting bottom border and flat accent "piping" - A very easy adjustment as the skirt is a rectangle. The embroidery design is from Planet Applique. Fit runs a little small compared with RTW sizes.

I made a mini tote for my great nice Ilona. It went together very easily. A new sewist could easily make this. I used the "I" pattern and put a red and white button in the middle to make it a bow. I hope she enjoys the mini tote I included for her in the package with quilts for her new twin siblings.

This was my first ever sewing project besides heming a few pants. I'm so proud of how these turned out. Thanks to the easy to follow instructions and tips from other DIY moms these came out better then I expected. I used a 6 ply cloth diaper and it has made this such an absorbent sturdy burp cloth. Total cost for one $3.59 not bad for the quality these yield.

Perfect for our daughters mother's day beach brunch at their preschool! My oldest daughter thought it was a princess dress because it was her first "long" dress and I was able to easily make it shorter for my little one so she didn't trip :) lots of compliments :)
