I made this dress for my 4 yr old daughter from a xtra small womens tshirt on the sale rack at target. It only cost $3.99! She loves it because it has big sparkly flowers on it and it's soft like a tshirt.


..and the back. I had to put a little makeshift dart thing so it wouldn't gape.


I picked up a camo shirt at the Army/Navy supply store. That one will be the next dress.

Finally finished! It only took me a few months of knitting on and off on it.


It's knit from Lions Brand Fishermans wool that i wound into little skeins and dyed individually in random earthy colors.


The yarn got alot softer after they dying and blocking processes. The thing weighs a ton though!


It was a housewarming gift for my mom who just had a new house built and it looks great in her new living room. Plus she absolutly loves it!
This is it (unblocked obviously)before i did the edge and wove in all the ends.


I really enjoyed this project and am already thinking of making one for my own.

Thanks! I just used a really simple Simplicity (5695) pattern that i bought at the same discount fabric store.
This is the pattern:

I got a new sewing machine recently so i intend on making lots of summer play dresses for my little one. She loves to pick out her own fabric at the fabric store and this was one of her picks.

The elastic casing around the neck and sleeves make this dress perfect for the little 4 year old that prefers to get herself dressed. I see many more versions of this pattern in our future since it only took my about 2 hours from uncut fabric to dress.

Hi there,
I finished this pattern a while ago and after knitting several versions of this hat i've decided to make the pattern available on my blog for free



This version is knit from my own hand spun yarn but it works up great in various yarns.

Enjoy!

As promised here are the pics of the pkg i sent out to BlooCanoe (she was unable to take pics so i did before sending).

I sent chocolate coverd strawberries, candy necklace, chocolate bar, tea, a crafting magazine, a card and some gorgious hand dyed and handspun yarn made by yours truly.
And here's a close up of the yarn:

I recieved my pkg from BlooCanoe!

There is a pink and green floral needle roll with a green ribbon closeure, a pink and green floral and humingbird quilted pillow cover, a knit and crochet roses on a vine scarf and 2 felted soaps. There was also a chocolate bar of smoooth dark cocoa but i ate it yesterday
