Big Sister-Little Sister Dresses

This was the first dress I made for Audrey before she was born. I used the free 0-3 month Peasant Dress pattern and tutorial available at Sew Much Ado.


I loved the way it turned out so much (plus it was soooo quick and easy to sew!) that I bought the full PDF pattern which includes sizes from 0-3 months though 6 years so I could make one for Sophie too. The pattern has options as well for a scalloped bottom and for making it as a blouse vs. dress.  I have a feeling this is a pattern I will use over and over again. 

I just took pictures of the girls wearing their matching dresses last week. Look at these little sweeties!

I always swore that I would never dress them alike, but after finding such a cute pattern for Audrey I thought it was only fair that Sophie have one too! And I was in love with the fabric way too much to make hers with anything different. 

The fabric I used is Ice Cream Social in Pink from the Riley Blake Go Fly a Kite line by October Afternoon. I bought this fabric quite awhile ago and have been saving it for something special. Unfortunately it is sold out pretty much everywhere now. Sniff! I want more of it!

The dress has coral colored ric-rac peeking out from the hem. Love!

 

And of course I had to make matching bloomers for Audrey using The Perfect Diaper Cover by Made. I've used that pattern many, many times because all little girl's dresses should have matching bloomers, right?

I can't get enough of Audrey's little open-mouthed look in the picture on the right. This is her signature expression for the moment.

And Sophie looked pretty as a princess, as always.   

Go out and get yourself on one these patterns ASAP! 

Linking to these parties!
