The Blue Remnant Dress


I made this dress a few months ago, about a week after making the butterfly blouse. The dress uses the same pattern and uses all remnant fabrics I picked up from Joann's. Awesome, right? I mean who gets a darling boutique blouse and a cute peasant dress for less than $10? I'm glowing with frugal momma pride right now, lol. Anyways, I hadn't set aside a morning to take photos before school started again so I ended up doing a lot of catch-up shots this last weekend since I've sewn a few other pieces of clothing for the girls since then as well. The peasant dress and blouse that I made come from Sandi Henderson's "Claire" Portobello Pixie Pattern. Right now here patterns page on her site is down due to maintenence, so I don't have a link to it. Claire comes with 4 designs - the Round Neck Apron Dress, Petal Knot Dress, Peasant Dress and Peasant Blouse. The Peasant Dress and Blouse are the ones I've made so far.


C has worn this dress more than a dozen times since I've made it. In fact, it's one of her go-to dresses and she wears it practically the moment it gets out of the dryer, lol. I'm glad she loves the clothes I make her so much. The one thing that makes me sad is that after size 8 I don't have anymore patterns for clothing that will fit her. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and thanks for popping on by!
