~the BANDANNA DRESS~
this is what you need:
2 bandannas, ribbon,
& your sewing machine.
lay out the bandannas on top of eachother-
writing @ the top & right sides together.
Next measure down (from the top/writing side)
7 1/2 inches & pin it. (now Cooner
if you are reading this YES I used ALL
of those pins- she NEVER pins when she sews..)
do the exact same thing to the other side
& sew both from 7 1/2 inch mark to
the bottom.
next measure 1 1/2 inches
down from the top/writing side,
pin evenly across, & stitch across (do the exact
same thing to the other side)
next measure out 2 pieces of ribbon
each 40 inches long & burn the edges
to prevent fraying- then thread
through the 1 1/2 inch seam on both sides.
TA DA..
what did I tell you??
PRECIOUS!!!!!
this is the little Easter one
that I made for the egg hunt.
(you will have enough ribbon
left over to make a matching
hair bow too!!)
my heart is THRILLED to see these. I am so glad they turned out so fabulous!!! makes me want to crank out my sewing machine,......hummmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteAshly, This is sooo cute! It made me want to crack out the sewing machine- which I have never used! The last time I sewed was Mrs. Bucher's Home Ec class!! But this is too adorable not to try. I swear you are the most creative person I know!!!
ReplyDeletewow smash! you were right-these are the cutest things ever. :) too bad, it still looks way too complicated for me. :) and I think my baby boy would look a little funny! good thing I have you for a bestie when I have a baby girl!
ReplyDeletelove ya!! come over please!
Ashly, Can you translate this with using actual material instead of Bandanas? I love these dresses. I miss you all. Lauran was with me for a few days. I am glad you are blogging. Tiernan starts Kindergarten tomorrow. (He doesn't even want us taking him to the bus stop!) I hope you are well.
