Loving the Feliz Dress Pattern

I am really loving sewing with the Feliz Dress pattern!

It is SO much fun!
I had some lighter denim, and some pink cotton

that had rows of machine-embroidered detail,

that I thought would be great to cut rows of ruffles out of.

Add lots of ribbons, some crocheted flowers, and viola!

She stood still long enough for two quick photos.....
then it was twirl twirl twirl!

Pretty Dress

I have held onto this fabric for a bit, it matches our china so prettily,

and had originally thought to make some cloth napkins & table runner with it.

But then I decided that it would make a cute dress for little Allie.

Another Feliz Dress

Since Allie took over the Feliz Dress that I made for Gracie,
I thought that I had better tackle another one!
Especially since I promised Miss Gracie one!
I had some light weight denim that I thought would make a great overdress.

After adding a few rows of ribbons/embellishments on the front,
I decided to leave the center row to add some crocheted flowers.
Time to get hooking!

For the underdress layer, I had some pink material with
rows of a machine crochet pattern. Perfect to cut apart!

I have used that to top the rows of ruffles & on the overdress.
It is very quickly coming together. Of course I can say that now,
now that 2 days of sewing ruffles are OVER!

On top of each underlayer of ruffle I had added a ribbon detail.
This took me forever, unspooling as I went along, until a lightbulb
went off-----place the spool of ribbon on the bobbin winder!
I undid as much as I needed, as I sewed along!

I had a little bit of this floral check pattern &
whipped up a little empire-waist sundress for our youngest niece.

Yellow Floral for a Grey Day!

I dug thru my fabric box & found this yellow floral.
Just right for a cloudy grey day!
Now for a cup of tea!

Peace!

I was really excited to make a pair of the Dortje pants for our youngest niece.
I just need to add elastic to the shopping list so I can finish the wasitband!
They really turned out cute & remind me of the 70's!

I'm still considering stitching on the back pockets.
Along the pink detail, perhaps "peace" or "love" or both!

Feliz Dress in Progress

Almost finished!
I'm so excited at how cute this Feliz dress is!
I added some pink daisy buttons to the back,
and I think it really added to it well.
I just have the bottom ruffle to tackle!
