The Gidget Dress




I have blocked this blog from people who look at my profile.... so only those who know me can look at this blog. Because of that I thought I'd post the dresses I made for SYTYC (and because Joel wanted to see them and wont be home for another week...boo hoo)

This is what the post will look like for SYTYC, the theme for next week is RETRO. Maricela took the pictures of my friends kiddo's, and they turned out so dang cute. I seriously just love looking at these pictures....The pictures at the top of the post are a couple that I didnt use. I really is no fun only choosing 3 pictures!!!!

Also Maricela has some more pictures, some that she 'aged' on her site Ella's Photography.


Perfect for friends.....



Perfect for playing.....



Perfect for hugging.....



The Gidget dress is easy enough for a beginner. Made from linen, it lightly flows and is the perfect breathable fabric for spring and summer! As long as you are making one, you may as well make three so all the friends can match!

Made from a simple a-line dress. I will show you how I designed and made these simple dresses using clothes you own as a pattern OR by cutting up a cheap pattern to re-design your own.

These dresses have coordinating fabric buttons on the front (which I made with the linen from the dress). This dress also has a simple button down back that DOESN'T use button holes...So if you have been intimidated by button holes, there is no excuse to not make your own Gidget dress!

Cute pics!!! Seriously, Maricella is really good! K so I have been to the voting, and yours blows them out of the water! AI don't like how you can't see who's in the lead though. I just like to know. As for the posting, I am just showing my painting projects to my sis-in-law in Iowa today, then I'm deleting those pics. Plus the kids are all sick so I have a lot of down time today!

Hey Kris, quick question for you-Are your three blogs all under the same email address, or did you have to set up three different accounts. I'm trying to set up another blog but have no clue how to do it and you're a pro. Thanks so much!!
