Oh dear! Which dress shall I wear today?
I bought this little applique dress pattern from Nanette last year. I thought it was the cutest pattern. I have been wanting to do this for the longest time. I finally pulled out the pattern and started making the dresses. Some dresses are going to have added trim. I have a nice size pile of dresses already to be appliqued to the background fabric. Now I am ready to start. (the model is courtesy of my daughter's art work)
With Passion,

This is so cute. I recently purchased a quilt pattern that has a little dress similar to this in every other square. I can't wait to get started on it but am trying to finish up some other projects first.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love the trims on the dresses.
ReplyDeleteOhh.. love this pattern.. will be so nice to see all your new dresses!!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh Carrie, They are sooo cute, I also have the pattern but do not know how to applique!! Great artist in the family!!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you make you template out of, cardboard? or how do you get them to be all the same size? I was thinking of fusing and then zig-zaging the edges. Yours are just darling!!
oh my goodness - your pictures are darling! gosh, i could see you making something besides a quilt out of that pattern with you and your daughter's imaginations! wonderful! ☺
ReplyDeleteThis dress quilt is going to be adorable Carrie!!

Love these dresses...the wonderful thing about Nanette's pattern is that it is so timeless...it looks wonderful in any fabric!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I love your embellishing and now I see talent runs throughout your family. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are those! I thought that you'd STITCHED the models. Was little jealous there for a second. :-D
ReplyDeleteHow lovely you have a model. Aren't artistically talented daughters wonderful? I know there will be some very well dressed young ladies in your house.

Reminds me of childhood days when we had the vinyl cling paper doll sets...boy did I ever enjoy those!

ReplyDeleteSo sweet Carrie! Love the model. I also bought the pattern last year and even selected the fabric, but have yet to start it.
ReplyDeleteI love them!! And what a talented daughter you have, Carrie! :-)
ReplyDeleteAren't they the cutest dressess and the artwork is great too.
ReplyDeleteLove your daughter's artwork, Carrie. The dolls remind me of the paper dolls we used to play with when we were children.

Nanette's patterns are so fun! What a fun way to show off those cute dresses. I can't wait to see what they all look like once they're all put together and accessorized. :)
ReplyDeleteI have that pattern too. I have cut out a few dresses but that is as far as it went...so far. I love your fabrics. And your daughter is a very good artist.
