Bunny Dress

My mother in law teaches costume design at a local arts school and occasionally people will donate fabrics which are not suitable for costume making. That's how I got my hands on this adorable vintage bunny fabric. 

 

As soon as I spotted it I knew it would make a cute casual Easter dress for Sophie. I found the ivory colored fabric at Walmart. 

I used the pillowcase dress tutorial from The Ribbon Retreat, with a couple modifications. I doubled up on the bottom border so that it required no hem, and I made the top sash from fabric rather than using ribbon.  It was a SUPER easy project that I easily finished in about an hour. 

I really wish I had some pictures to share of Sophie in the dress, but the weather has been unseasonable cold and rainy. I'll add some as soon as it warms up! 

Hope you're having a great weekend!

UPDATE :

Finally adding some pictures of Sophie in the dress...taken WAY after Easter! But it still works as a cute summer dress, although she insisted in wearing her black shoes instead of white sandals. She just recently learned how to pedal her bike and is SO proud of herself!

 And she has inherited her Mama's love of taking pictures!

Except it's a little hard to do with the camera turned the wrong way!

 Now you have it!

So pleased with herself! 

Linking to these parties!
