Weekend Sewing: A Dress for Eve

11 April 2010 Filed In: Birthday, Crafts, sewing


Our little cousin Eve has a sweet disposition and huge, curious, and bright blue eyes. Since her first birthday will be here in no time, I decided to whip up a special birthday present for her, the Flower Girl Dress from Heather Ross’s Weekend Sewing.

While this pattern has major errata, mostly detailed on Heather Ross’s site, it provided me with a chance to use artistic license and figure out how to bring it together.
Truth be told, I almost cast this little dress out the window and into the street several times. Some choice language was used along the way- mainly at myself since I had made this dress before for my daughter when the book first came out. I had already had to figure it out once but had written myself no notes or even sweet words of encouragement about how to do it again a year later.
So, here it is. A dress made with colorful language and a lot of love for the tiny Yummy for whom it was made. Hope you enjoy it, Miss Eve. Happy Birthday to You!
Have a great Sunday, everyone!
