Talking You are soooo mean! ROFLOL

I want to do this RIGHT NOW! and I can't I'm at work for another 4 hours.
(I work one full day every other week when dh has the day off)
I'm so excited to do this... I love the self binding idea I was going to get
co-ordinating bias binding but I'm off the hook now. I do plan try to make
my ribbon with part of the pillow case instead of ribbon because on the
one that I had I found the ribbon slipped alot so I'm hoping useing the same
material will eliminate that.
I found a white pillow case at the thrift store for 45 cents!!!! I was trying
to decide if I should do the artwork on it first or after but in light of the
self binding I think I'll wait and do it after...

BOY I want to be at home instead of here... especially since I have a
quick serging project that has to go first.

I'm so jealous of those who have already completed the project.(((((

Talking I'm done!

This was so easy! I loved it! I used fabric b/c I didn' have any cool pillowcases. If I do it again I won't make it as wide (at least not for a little baby), but all in all it came out pretty good! I sewed matching ribbon at the hem just to pull it all together.

Thanks for posting the instructions and photos Allison!

I made one for Kenna last night. I'm glad I used an extra pillowcase instead of the Pooh fabric she chose though... thought it would be a good idea to practice I cut this one at 22" and it was a bit too short, so I'll be sure to cut the next one longer. Hopefully I'll have enough material to do a pair of bloomers too!

I did it!

I will share a pic once I take and develop one...alas no digital camera here. But, I had the perfect scrap of fish print fabric to use, and yellow ribbon just laying around waiting for something like this! It came out sooooo cute, and I did it in an hour while Katie played with her friend. Awesome!

Now we just have to see if Katie likes the ribbons at the shoulders, she wasn't sure about that but is wearing it happily now. Oh, and next time I would like to make it 22" as it's a bit short.

I love the idea of using a chambray with a finished embroidered edge. This would also look gorgeous in eyelet! Also, the ribbon at the hem looks lovely.

I have all these small pieces of calicos laying around that aren't suitable for patchwork because they don't match anything else I have. I think I just found a use for them!

Thanks for leading, Allison. I haven't sewn for fun in a long time and this was the perfect project to start with.

Everybody's dresses look great!

Renee, I love that fabric! You always have such cool batiky fabrics.

I've got all the supplies for mine. Hopefully will get some sewing time when ds goes down for a nap. I'm sewing mine for someone's daughter. We'll see how it turns out.

I love these sew alongs. I feel like I learn so much!
