EDITED - adding the pattern, and link to pants I made off this pattern too.--Hi Cuties, This was the first day I had Avery this week, so I just finished her dress. This fabric was a piece, in the stash, from the elderly quilter. The emb design was a freebie, from Digistitches, Patriotic flower hair bows. I made it like an applique with the red check fabric. I also enlarged the largest one to put on the dress. The shoes have the med size design as it comes in 3 sizes. I wanted to stitch the ribbon to the dress, but mom wanted some thread loops on the sides, in case she didn't want to wear the ribbon. With Avery it would stay in place better stitched down. The shoes are the ones I made earlier. After I made the enlarged flower, I put 2 slits in the backing only, and slid it on the strap. It can be taken off for a different look. I hope you like my little Patriot's outfit.-Toogie-

Sorry, don't have any fabric left. I will have to piece a bib to match because don't have enough for even that.
11506What an adorable outfit ! The little shoes are so cute. Your granddaughter will look very special in it. You make such amazing outfits. Very clever to make the flower on the sash removable.

Thank you for all your kind comments. I was hesitant to sew the sash in, because I was afraid if it was washed a lot the dots may come off the ribbon. They are not woven in. This way we can change it out if they get bad.
707This is just beautiful! I love everything. I agree that it may be easier to keep up with the ribbon if it were stitched on. But, with it not then one could use different ribbon and it would be like a new dress! What superb sewing you did on the outfit, shoes and accessories. I hope that your daughter learns, or has learned, to sew as beautifully as you. I am so grateful that my mom taught me to sew and do handwork at a very early age. Toogie, you really dress your granddaughters nicely!

Thanks Nancy. My youngest wants to learn but doesn't have time with church activities/duties, work, the kids, etc. Maybe one day, then she can sew for her grands,when I am gone. I am glad your mom taught you. I just love to hear when people learn to sew. It has been so rewarding for me. Others say it makes them too nervous. It is my relax time, I guess, because I do enjoy it. My oldest daughter can sew a little, has time to learn more, but not too interested. There are things I don't like to make, like prom,ball or wedding dresses. I leave that to my very good friend-lol- She has made my daughters huge skirts, on Homecoming dresses, and I must say a perfect job,too.
4475Just love the whole thing--where is this shoe pattern??? My grand daughter buys these types and would love the pattern.

Thank you very much, but we have a lot of other Cuties that sew just as well, I'll bet you can too. I do appreciate your looking. I put links to the pattern and pants I made off this pattern too. Take a look-see-Toogie

It is a view off the pattern I used for her monogrammed ruffled pants. I guess because of the dark color, it does make it look more for an older girl. A classic look, maybe. Thanks for looking-Toogie
66905Adorable. If she was in it would even be more adorable, :)

She was in it, until she drooled all over, and I still couldn't get her to pick her head up! Oh well....

I'm ahead of you in thought but not deed-lol- maybe not a hairband, but a barrette or ponytail band. Thanks for looking.

I wish it was dotted swiss but no, its just a cotton polka dot. I wanted to try the pattern, size, out with this 'free' fabric, to see how it fit. I know I made the whole outfit, for less than $3- So glad I got this fabric from the family and Bevintex told me where to get zippers! Thanks for looking,Toogie

3162529726The whole outfit is stunning Toogie. I love the little flower. I did that on a dress I just made for Ophelie and made it a pocket! I like how you've added it to the belt and as you say it can be taken off if needed. Love Chris

It is good to think we can use our designs for more than the intended purpose. I don't think the belt is going to work out. If you tie it snug, it fits right across her GI tube. If you leave it loose, it doesn't look right. May take it off, although I now have the belt loops at the sides. IDK-I started to put the ribbon up from the bottom skirt edge, because she will have a bib, at the top anyway. I made the waist a little loose, in case it did fall, where it does. It doesn't look bad, without the ribbon at the waist. It's just without a bib, it looked good. Of course and unfortunately, there is always the need for the bib. I'm rattling-sorry-Toogie

Thank you very much. I think mom likes the idea of shoes for her. It's sometimes hard to find shoes and then you have to buy 2 pair,as feet are not the same size, etc. I am just glad that I do know how and am still able to sew for her.
54557Oh, this is so cute!! I just know Avery will look so sweet in her red, white and blue outfit!! I hope we get a picture!! Hugs, Laura*

I did take some photos of her in it, however, she was not in a photogenic mood. Her head was just to heavy today for her to keep it up, poor baby. She did try,though.
96265She will look darling in this outfit. What a wonderful job.
