simple summer dress with embroidery

A few years ago I made this cute little dress

for Miss C.

While she still a petite girl,

her legs keep on getting longer!

here is a close up of the embroidery.

I used a pattern from the Sew Beautiful magazine,

issue 119 and the machine embroidery design that came with the pattern.

(free on the web side)

I even used entredeux and home made binding!

 I decided to make her a new one,

but to simplify it a little:

no entredeux and cute hand embroidery.

Remember this post ?

yes it is for this dress!

and here it is:

A cute summer dress, made of white pique for the top,

flower fabric from Stylecrest

and white imperial batiste.

The blue is an unusual color and I was not able to match it to any fabric,

so I used it for the binding.

The back has no embroidery.

She likes it!
And yes we are having a sunglasses phase!
Read the last Fancy Nancy: "spectacular spectacles"?
Then you understand!!

Happy sewing!
