I used the Sienna Dress Pattern from Lil Blue Boo for this dress and loved how this one turned out!
Challenge Dress #5 - "Little Rocker"
For this dress I used one recycled t-shirt & one recycled baby dress. I also used the fabric from the recycled baby dress to do a reverse applique on the back of the dress.
The polka dot fabric was from a 0-3 month baby dress that both my daughters, Savannah & Matilda wore. A week ago, my husband was ready to toss the dress because it had gotten quite a few stains on the top portion and it was just time to get rid of it. Luckily he had noticed how much I had been into repurposing clothing lately and set it in my sewing area thinking I could possibly use some of the fabric. And he was right!!
I decided to do a gathered neck-line on this dress just to change it up a bit from the original pattern and I'm really happy with how it turned out.
On the back of the dress I did a reverse applique of a star using the recycled baby dress. I think the raw edge on this applique adds to the rocker look.
The look was completed with a pair of light pink leg-warmers. These are just your basic knee-high socks converted into baby / toddler leg warmers. Click here to find one the many tutorials on the web for this little project.
Huh? What? Oh you want me to dance?? Ok......
I was not kidding when I said Savannah LOVES to dance - here she is again gettin' her groove on!
