Toddler Approved Yellow Medallion Dress NOW WITH TUTE!

[shadowbox]

I whipped this dress up in an hour using two quilt squares, some remnants, and one foot of elastic.  The whole thing cost about $3.50 and fits my 24-month sized One year old daughter.

Halter Top Back


Front ( which was hard to get.)


I whipped up a little tute per request after offering.  It only consists of 8 pieces, two of which are linings, and 4 are strap pieces.  Great for novice sewers.




The best way I would go about measuring pieces for your dress is to take an existing dress and measure width and length.  Mark where the arm opening ends to give yourself a base to cut.  Trace half the dress, fold and cut so your piece is symmetrical.  Make sure to keep your shoulder straps at least an inch wide PLUS sewing allowance.  Oh, and the yellow on the Tute is the Elastic.  You'll need about 8-12 inches.

Wow, that looks fantastic!! You did a great job. I love that fabric! I think I have it in green, but I really like the yellow!

I would love a tutorial!  My daughter is (a small) almost 24 months, and I've wanted to start making clothes for her.  They are so much more unique, and there are so many great fabrics!  Also, I must say that dress and fabric (and your model) are adorable!
