a pirate's life's for me....


My baby turned 2 recently!  We had a little pirate-themed party to celebrate.  I found the pink skull knit fabric at Mill-End and made both girls pirate dresses for the occasion.  The pattern is Lil Blue Boo's Racerback Tunic Dress.  I've made 3 versions of this dress, the first one I blogged about here.


This pattern is so quick and easy I've got it down under 2 hours from start to finish.  With leggings or shorts it is the perfect summertime playdress. 













You can tell what a mischievious little monkey she is!

Ruffle Joy Skirt

The name of the pattern for this skirt just about describes it perfectly. And yes, finally I have made something for baby b. This incredibly cute pattern is by Bridget & Lucy and can be found here. The directions were fairly simple; you can actually use pre-cut jelly roll strips for the ruffled layers though I did cut up my own strips from fabrics I had on hand. The tulle also comes in 6-inch pre-cut rolls. The most exciting part of the process of making this skirt was that I got to use the rolled hem feature on my serger. The hemming was done so easily and fast. And the end result is a beatifully finished skirt! I'll post pictures of Baby B. crawling around in her skirt when the big day comes for her to wear it. And yes, I am talking about her 1 year birthday celebration.
