Sommer Fabric by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller

For a couple of weeks, I kept going back and forth about what fabric I would use for my children's Easter dresses. I finally came to a conclusion that the Sarah Jane Sommer Collection would be stunning. I tend to favor blue hues personally, and I think it looks nice on my girls. So, I went with it! I absolutely adore how everything came together. I chose simple dress patterns that would not interfere with the natural beauty and artwork on the fabric design itself. My older girl is wearing the Hourglass Dress by Rabbit Rabbit Creations. I can't believe I tested this back in the fall! My little one is wearing the Trendsetter by Little Lizard King.

We live in Texas, and the bluebonnets started popping up alongside the roads rather early this year. On our way to an outdoor market, we came across hill after hill of flowers! After I literally hemmed the last dress, I slipped the dresses on my kids and buckled them into the car to get shots in those stunning flowers! It was quite hilarious! The girls are not exactly used to nature. They complained about the itchy grass and the random bee or bug that would spring up out of nowhere! Lots of squealing and running happened! Nonetheless, we do have some pretty darn cute photos of them. Their stunning flower crowns are from a fabulous Etsy Maker, The Gipsy and the Yarn. Gloria did a great job customizing the headpieces for me.

Several weeks later, we visited the Dallas Arboretum to see the spring blooms. Of course, the girls wore their dresses to the gardens! We are really spoiled that we have such beauty within a 45 minute drive!

Thanks for reading!

CKC Belinda's Peasant Dress

I had the chance to test Create Kids Couture Belinda's Peasant Dress. It was a really quick sew. The button down skirt is a fun detail to change up the traditional peasant dress. I also like the added sash that cinches the waist. For my Belinda, I used classic seersucker with Blend's Luckie Fabric designed by Maude Asbury.

Minnie Mouse Party Dress

A client recently ordered a Minnie Mouse dress. It is so adorable! I love how it is inspired by the classic red Minnie Mouse, and the one shoulder adds a modern twist to it! I think this dress is perfect for a birthday party, a trip to Disney World, and anything in between! I know my girls would wear this dress for dress up! How fun!

Give Hope

Violette Field Threads is a wonderful pattern design company that is sponsoring the HOPE Campaign to send handmade clothing to a girls' home in Guatemala. One of the designers adopted her children from the country, and she found an opportunity to give the gift of clothing to Casa Guatemala. VFT has organized hundreds of seamstresses to give the gift of time and handmade garments to these children.  I am thrilled to have created a top called "Lola" along with knit "Evie" shorts. I hope the girl who receives it enjoys it, plays in it, twirls in it, and truly feels special having a special outfit made just for her.
