Pretty Peasant Dresses


Are you familiar with the blog Sew Much Ado?  If not, you should be!!!  I have never bought one of her patterns before, but I have used several of her tutorials.  The tutorials are so fantastic, the quality of her patterns must be amazing.



I used her Infant Peasant Dress tutorial to make a few little dresses for the twins.  I love the simple design and the use of elastic.  It's going to make it ssssooooo easy to put these on and take them off!



I believe I ordered this material from Pick Your Plum when it was one of their daily deals.  It's one of those great sites that posts a new deal everyday.  It's often baker's twine, basic wardrobe pieces, blank jewelry or crafts.  When I decided to make these dresses and was digging through my material stash, these prints seemed perfect.  Adorable, but soft.  Something that won't over-power two little girls.


BTW - I'm not getting paid by Sew Much Ado or Pick Your Plum.  I just want to share two sites with you I love!
