Stripe Maxi Dress

Summer in Az calls for dresses! My daughter loves to wear dresses in the summer since they feel cooler and well she is a girlie girl. I've noticed that she was already out growing some of the ones I've made her last year or bought her. It's mommy made to the rescue, I've been wanting to make her a maxi dress ever since she learned how to walk lol. So now I think she is in the appropriate age to be able to move and handle a maxi dress.
For this design I decided to do a basic tank pattern and I measured her for the desired length. The hem was going to be high low but, squared out. I was inspired by my stripe black and white maternity dress. I had another stripe black in white fabric in my stash, this was a cotton jersey blend and was softer.

Unfortunately, like many times I didn't have enough fabric for the stripes to go horizontal. I really wanted to use this fabric so I decided the next best thing was to have the stripes go vertically. Since it is a four way stretch it wouldn't affect the design lucky for me!!
when I finished sewing it I was so excited to have her try it on, but I had to wait until she woke up. She wore it for Westgate Wednesday which is a summer fun of music, dancing, games, and meet and greet Disney Characters. She was going to meet Rapunzel and Belle, I didn't want her to wear her bell dress again lol and didn't really feel like making a Rapunzel inspired dress. I was a bit nervous about showing her what she'd be wearing. Lucky for me her reaction was "Oh mommy is soooo bew-ti-ful!!"

She looked so adorable, I even took her to grandma's house and she loved the way she looked. Here are some pictures I snapped before the event and at the event.
Also, here is the picture of her with Belle and Rapunzel



I've been thinking of adding this design to my Etsy shop, let me know if you would like to see it available and what size would you be interested? If I get a good amount of interest I will make it happen!!

  1. Aw, your little girl is so cute. The maxi dress is adorable. I never thought of maxi dresses for little girls, but it works. You did such a good job making it and I might have to bug my mother (who is way more crafty than I am) to make some for my little girl.

Boxy Charm/February Unboxing+Review

It's BoxyMail Time, this month's theme is Galaxy Glow. It is definitely giving me all the Space Jams vibes. If you aren't familiar with BOXYCHARM it is a beauty subscription for $21 a month. Usually you get 5-6 full size products! Based on the theme I thought that the products were going to be vibrant, glowy, or have a neon effect. There were so many variations on their IG that I was not sure if I was going to like this month's box. The five items that were included in my box were a highlighter palette, shimmer veil, eye pencil, glitter, and trio brush set.  (Disclaimer: this review is NOT sponsored by BOXYCHARM, I bought this with my own money, all opinions are mine.

Women's Watches: Where to Shop for Unique Timepieces

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is slowly creeping up and I'm making sure to make the most out of it. As a mommy of two, I stop and stare at my two beautiful daughters I began to reminisce on the day they were both born. Oh such tiny little babies they were and all I can think is poof they've grown in a blink of an eye. I am soaking up every moment and making memories with them because I want them to always remember all the good TIMES we've experienced. Thanks to JORD on my wrist, it is a daily reminder to cherish my precious time. JORD is based in St. Louis. They design sophisticated watches with mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.
