Summer Dresses

Now that we've been in Florida for two months, my hankering for those two granddaughters is growing more intense by the day. They were on my mind when I was shopping at the AQS Daytona quilt show, so much so that when I saw these fabrics, I thought of how cute they'd be made into summer dresses or tops for the girls.

Both fabrics are from Windham designers. The top one is called Celestial, and I plan to make a pinafore-type dress for Reagan with it. I've made it for Cate, so I know it well enough and should be able to whip it out pretty fast. I will have to do it back in Ohio, though, since I didn't bring the pattern with me. I made two from this pattern.

 

The surfing print will become a dress for Cate. The very first movie she ever became enthralled with is the Disney movie Moana. I will probably wait until I return home to make it also. I've got a box full of old patterns to choose from.

 

Now, I did bring two patterns with me; they contain multiple sizes. So I could move forward, depending mostly on my mood. 

With just a yard of each fabric to work with, I'm thinking I could definitely do the sleeveless dress. So we shall see. I need to find my sewing mojo, for sure.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
