Friday I went shopping for bandanas, shirts, pillowcases (actually bought yardage of fabric instead) ribbon, bias tape and elastic. Today I'm working on the projects!
I decided to start with the easiest first, EZ 2 Make Bandana Dress. I need to embroider something on the shirt, but I didn't want to waste my time if I goofed up on the skirt. It turned out pretty well, although I'm not sure if the front point is actually centered.
Centered or not, it makes a nice twirly dress, which is extremely important to a 3 year old!
So I have to decide what to embroider. Embroidery Library has some neat paisley designs that would be cute. Or I might applique an "A" on the shirt, using the leftover bandana fabric cut out of the center. I think it also needs a little extra something around the waistline, maybe ribbon or ric-rac. We'll see...
Any way, it was EZ2Make!

A navy grow-grain ribbon around the waist-line would be cure.
Spinny dresses are always the best.

I take the middle of the bandannas and make a little flower or heart or butterfly to sew on the shirt.
