Sewing for Baby: Another Pillowcase Dress and Headbands

I’m finally getting around to posting this!  The first project on my craft list is a baby craft.

I had another baby shower to attend, another one for a baby girl!  So I decided to make another pillowcase dress (see More Pink for Baby).

This one I made with an adorable red and white gingham print I had in my fabric stash.

I used a soft lace instead of ribbon for the ties and added the same lace across the front.

I used the same eyelet lace along the hem as with the previous dress.

For this dress, I also made a matching bow headband.  It uses the same lace as the dress, and just like the head bands I made for the last baby shower (see More Pink for Baby), I used tights for the stretchy part.

And because it’s hard to stop at just one headband, I made two more.  These are for a different baby I know.  She’s already born, but I missed her baby shower, so this is a late but cute gift for her.

Here’s the updated list:

• Baby
• Blue dress
• Tiny outfits
• T-shirts
• Halloween
• Pink dress
• More T-shirts

One down, six more to go.  I will try to get the next one up a bit sooner.  Look forward to it!

Up to Forty One

So, it’s been busy the past few months, just not so much on the blog.  I haven’t really done anything crafty this Summer except reading about other people’s crafts.  That needs to stop.  So time to bring back the craft list.

Craft Project List #41:

• Baby
• Blue dress
• Tiny outfits

Seven fun ideas with approximately two months to complete them, so no excuses of being “too busy”.  Wish me luck.
