Pippa Dress

March 3, 2015 By Taylor 43 Comments

I have been hoarding this Fox Knit for over a year now waiting for the perfect thing. I found it! It’s the Pippa Peplum with the dress add on. I love this pattern from See Kate Sew… quick and easy, just how I like my patterns :) I also love that it looks lined but it isn’t haha!

I love having boys and think of myself as such a boy mom but sewing for (and dressing) a little girl is the ultimate game of dress up and it’s amazing! I’m so lucky to be a mom to both. The real question is how long will she let me dress her haha, Any girl moms want to chime in?

Speaking of sewing for girls… I’ve been busy sewing up some big bow head wraps that will be posted in my Etsy shop soon! Look for it in a few weeks… I’ll post updates on Instagram and Facebook

Winged Peasant Dress

January 9, 2015 By Taylor 13 Comments

A few weeks ago, Bonnie Christine (from Going Home to Roost) sent me some fabric from her gorgeous new line, WINGED!I immediately knew it had to be a dress for my girl. Her line is with Art Gallery Fabric and they have the softest cotton ever. I got a yard of “Wingspan Melon” and the colors are even better in real life. The background color reminds me of melted ice cream :)

I used one of my favorite go-to patterns. The Pocket Peasant Dress from Whimsy Couture. It’s so easy, there is one pattern piece and I can whip one up in less than 30 minutes! And I have… 4 times now :)

This picture doesn’t give justice to the buttery feel of this fabric. I usually don’t wash my fabric first because my fabric usually turns into a quilt but since having a girl, I now make a lot more clothing and it’s a must!

The colors are a little springy for this particular fabric in the line so I made the dress a few sizes bigger in hopes that it will fit perfectly this spring.

I can’t wait for my sweet girl to wear it. Thanks Bonnie for including me in your blog hop! Make sure to check out all of the other fabulous projects HERE!

Appliqued Onesies. These are so quick and easy but also super custom!

Felt Bunting for the Nursery

Icon Onesies… just use vinyl on a hand dyed onesie for an easy gift

Diaper Bag Tag… this could be fun to add to the wrapping of another gift too!

Bandit Bibs… every little boy needs these!

Baby Name Blanket

Baby Bunny Plushie

One of my favorite things to give… a baby quilt, I love this one!!

Everything here is tried and true… also handmade gifts are always a hit at a baby shower! Do you have anything else to add to the list?

Gleeful Summer Baby Dress

July 27, 2014 By Taylor 1 Comment

Welcome to the Taylor Made stop on the Gleeful Fabric Blog Hop :)

A few months ago my friend Caroline made me insanely jealous and designed her own fabric line! Kidding… I’m so happy for her, and her new line, Gleeful is just that. So happy, bright and fun… perfect for summer. I asked for a fat quarter bundle because there is no way I could just choose one of these fabrics!

Caroline sent the fabric a few months ago and I knew I wanted to make a baby dress. I thought the Summer Baby Dress by Kate and Gleeful were a match made in heaven. Also a perfect match… these buttons!!!

I actually didn’t have enough of any one fabric for the skirt part of the dress so I just used two different fabrics which I thought looked really cute for this pattern.

I LOVE the fabric on the straps. I also love this pattern from Kate! So easy and so cute. I did add the buttons but other than that I stuck to the pattern.

I even pulled out my double needle for the hem, so you know I meant business :)

I really wanted to have pictures of her in the dress but she is still too tiny… I’m thinking another month or so, thankfully (or not thankfully) it will be hot here for a while so she will get some good use out if it!

Thanks for having me Caroline! You can check out the full Gleeful line HERE
