Homemade dresses

Well with my Preschool Caddy page going well now.

I have orders coming in and its a great feeling im really loving it.

Well after a mother asking me if i can make a pinafore as she doesnt want to pay $50 + for a dress.

So off i went to give it a go and see what i could do, i have never made a dress before.

Here is my first attempt
This had a few things i didnt like about it, one it was a little tight around the chest when Dakota tried it on..2 the buttons didnt match and i only had two small enough for the button holes i made.
So of course first attempts are never prefect but hey it was a first attempt.

So i had to give it another go and make another dress, this one is purple/white ripple with bunnies on the bottom.
Now this one i like apart from the bunnies at the bottom dont match up...but this is my first with two different fabrics/patterns.  This dress is also lined with a purple colour.

So after my first and second attempt im feeling pretty pleased and happy i can make them, these both are size 3 so will give smaller sizes a go aswell
