Piper Pants with Appliqued Onesie

I decided that I was having way too much fun creating dresses for my darling girl, and I thought that I better tackle some pants.  Spring is around the corner after all and she needs some warmer weather threads.  I am so happy with the way these pants turned out.  They are a wide bottom pant with a detachable bow!  Just take a look at this little number!

Aren't they so, so cute?  Then I thought that she needed a little something to go with her new pants.  So, I took one of her little onesies and appliqued a flower on the front!

Now she has a complete outfit!  If only spring would arrive a little faster!

Lucy Lou Dress

This week I was feeling a little ambitious.  So, I thought that I would learn a new sewing trick; shirring.  Little did I know that my zealousness would lead me on a roller coaster of a day.  There I was with my pretty little dress all made with the only thing left to do is shirr the neckline and sleeves.  Ahh, I was envisioning perfection...

Burst!!!

That's right, my bubble burst the minute I attempted this technique.  That's right it took me an agonizing 5 hours, one phone call to Brother (my sewing machine manufacturer--thank you sweet old lady), two YouTube videos, my book Complete Guide to Sewing, and yes, some tears for me to be able to shirr my dress. 

Note: NO DRESSES WERE HARMED IN LEARNING THIS TECHNIQUE.

After much trial and error, I am proud to present my Lucy Lou dress!!!

Dress Features:

Shirred neckline and sleeves with finished hem.

Appliqued fabric flower.

Ribbon trim on hem of dress.

Tutu Cute!

I saw a picture of a tutu that I thought was so precious and cute.  Since I was feeling overly ambitious I thought that I would try to recreate the tutu.  While the project was not as easy as I thought it was going to be, the final product was incredibly cute!  Take a look at this little number:

You may not know this yet, but my family simply loves Disney!  My baby girl is going to wear this when we go there this spring!  Isn't it cute?

Cost: $30 size 0 to 2T and $35 3T to 6 (price for larger sizes available upon request)
Sizes: Any size; just give me the waist size.

The Warmth of Sunshine

With the abundant amount of snow and cold weather we have received this winter, I thought that I needed a little warmth and sunshine.  So, I thought that I would get started on my spring collection.  The first dress in this collection is a darling little number I call "Sunshine."

Are you ready for some sunshine?  Here it is:

Front

Back

This dress is a double layer dress with an over skirt and an underskirt.  The straps are knotted in order for your precious little darling to get more years of wear out of this dress.  However, if you would prefer buttons, I can easily attach them.

Get your "Sunshine" dress today and add some warmth to your winter!

Cost: $40
Sizes: 2T to size 12

On vacation see you when I get back!!

Apron Knot Dress

This Christmas I have been busy making gifts for family and friends.  I have been tempted to post pictures of the goodies I am making, but I am afraid that someone will check my site and discover what they are getting.  So, I decided that I would post some other sewing projects that I have worked on earlier in the year.   That is before I officially became The Frock Princess.

For Lexie's birthday I made her an Apron Knot Dress.  She looked so cute crawling around in her pretty attire.  What I like about this dress is that it grows with the child.  It starts out as a dress and then it can later become a shirt.

Here is what the dress looks like:

Isn't it cute?  The theme for her party was pink and brown polka dots so I went along with the theme in the dress. 

Here is what Lexie thought of her birthday dress:

She loved it!

I can make this dress in a variety of fabric colors and designs.  Cost: $25 Sizes: 6mths to size 8

Hark the Herald Angels Sing!

So my little angel is going to be an angel in a play at school.  So, I was responsible for coming up with a costume for him.  I have been feeling a little lazy lately (probably this cold weather), and I did not want to drive to the fabric store.  It is 25 minutes away, and I just was not feeling it.

Ah-Ha moment: Use old pillowcases.  I dug out two of our mismatched pillowcases and created this angelic costume for my little angel!

You'll have to pardon the wrinkles since the pillowcases have been sitting in our trunk for at least 10 years.   Hey, I said I was feeling lazy.  Didn't have the desire to iron either! :)

I can't wait to see my little angel sing!  Hope you have a blessed Christmas, and remember that Jesus Christ is the true reason for the season!
