Sewing - The little shirt dress!



As I've heard from others, I learned a lot from making this dress..

These were the biggest things I learned:

1. Next time, I'll use a sturdier shirt! The fabric on my thrift store find was pretty thin and threadbare.
2. I'll use the expanded pattern from Dana next time - the armpits are pretty tight on this one.
3. It would help to have a real child in mind for the dress, so that I could use actual measurements!

The waistband is from a pillow case that my Grandma Reese embroidered. Because it's her embroidery, I'm kind of reluctant to give the dress away. No remedy but having a baby girl of my own :)
