nicey jane indeed… and a little confession

May 4, 2010

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

A few weeks ago, I ordered three yards of coordinating prints from Heather Bailey’s Nicey Jane fabric line.  My plan was to make Sayla and Keadryn little semi-matching dresses for Keadryn’s third birthday party later this month.

Three things to notice:

1- The fabric… gorgeous right?  I matched the girls’ dresses to Jordi’s red-and-green birthday party palette, but isn’t the aqua beautiful as well?  The laminated ‘pocketbook green’  (see above) is on my mother’s day wish list.

2- The shirring.  I can’t stop y’all.

3- I ended up making 4 dresses.  One for Keadryn, one for Sayla, a little one for teeny baby Hannah… And (here’s where the confession comes in) I used the extra fabric to make a coordinating newborn dress just in case Peanut #2 is a girl.  I know it’s weird to make a dress for a baby that might be a boy.  But I couldn’t help myself.  There, I said it.

Tutorial to come, by the way… so y’all can join in the nicey, shirred, pocket-y, summer-y goodness.

    These are so cute. The shirring is fabulous and comfortable. I remember wearing "sun dresses" — that's what we called these — when I was little. They were favorites of mine!

    Those are darn cute! I made one similar for an American Girl. Posted a pic today. I can't stop with the Shirring either! So fun now that I've figured it out.
