Love this post! I am making a simple sundress and thankfully have a friend with a two year old. I just wished I sewed when my own girls were little.

I absolutely agree with you! I made Miss 2 1/2 a dress at Christmas time. Her 3rd birthday is next month, so I intend to make her a new dress and post it to her in the coming weeks. Her mum really appreciates the love and care that goes into the garments I make, and that makes it so worthwhile.

What a beautiful dress. I love the cheeky combo of old fashioned sweetness (front view) and the modernity of the halter back. Aunty of the Year Award headed your way.

So cute. Perfect fabric choices! I've made that pattern a few times for my granddaughters and they love the halter! Makes them feel sophisticated. I like a lot about CC patterns -- but I'm not a fan of 1/4" seams so I usually just increase them to 3/8" for little people. Other than that issue, I think the patterns are fine for beginners as the instructions are clear and the techniques are good.

So cute! I agree that it's definitely a nice change to sew for kids. I am always attracted to the crazy prints at the fabric store, but I typically wear solids and neutrals myself. Sewing for little ones is a great excuse to mix colors, prints, and trims.

What a sweet little dress!

I regularly interrupt my adult sewing for kid stuff. That's what happens when you're firmly in the stage of life that you're at baby showers every few months. ;) I love it though because I find that I'm able to really build my sewing confidence and skill set on those projects and then carry it with me onto garments for me. It's a win-win.

Gorgeous! I bought patterns to make for my little one, but have not done any yet.

Sweet! Clearly, she feels pretty in that dress.

Nice job, Meg! I agree whole-heartedly, and you know that I make plenty of little girl dresses! It's faster, it's easier (less fitting issues), and it's fun to mix in fun trims, buttons, and ribbons. She's a lucky girl!

Super cute! The fruit and flowers motif is spot on. I also love the ric-rac. I am sewing a Irish Dance muslin for my 7 year old, so I am up to my elbows in little girl fluffiness :-)

Darling! You have caught my desease! In children's clothing you can bring in all sorts of fun trims, buttons, and textures. It is VERY creative and can be addicting. There are no bounds and the best part? These are flat little bodies! Hard to go wrong making children's clothing. I have started making matching AG dresses for all that I make Sophie.

Sophie is coming to spend a couple of weeks with me at the end of the month and we have big plans to sew. I will take her to the fabric store, teach her to cut patterns, and let her get comfortable with the machine. She will get to pick out her fabric and trims all on her own, just like my grandmother let me. I am so looking forward to it.
