can you believe this is the first birthday dress that i have made for phia? since she is having a circus party next weekend, i decided to get a head start and make her dress now, before the sleepless nights of cake baking begins.
i used an old shirt that i haven't really utilized, but really liked the print to the point that i couldn't let it go. after making this one, i took note of my steps and made a little walkthrough for anyone interested in making one.
steps 1-4steps 5-6
step 7
steps 8-9
i find it so much easier to jump into projects when some of the mystery is taken out of the construction process. i hope that these instructions are clear enough, but if you need any assistance or clarification, you can email me at liliashp@gmail.com

I came over from Grosgrain.
I love making new things out of old dress shirts.
The adult sized collar on a child is so great. I like how it almost forms a v-neck.

Unquestionably believe that that you stated.
Your favourite justification appeared to be at
the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you,
I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other people consider issues that they plainly do not recognise about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the top as neatly as outlined out the entire
thing without having side-effects , other people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
