A Sundress for Daisy: Vintage Simplicity 1291


We are loving this pattern this spring--it has wonderful shaping through the bodice, easy to construct and very effective. Also, I'm able to leave the zipper off and so it sews up fast.


Daisy's wearing it in a peachy quilting cotton trimmed with turquoise velvet.


Tuxedo bow, always a yes.

  3. how cute! My mom just made some dresses for my sisters out of t-shirts and some material from Jo Ann's! It's so satisfying to make your own dresses.

  5. Don't you just love vintage patterns?
    I think it came out really well :) You'll have to make a petticoat to go with it too!

  6. I love the fabric and her jacket (or is that a cape?). Anyway, thankfully you have daughters that allow you to sew for them! :)

  8. The dress is so sweet! But really--I love her bare feet, her glasses, her long flowy hair. How in the world do you stand it? She's so dear.
