Some Kitty Cuteness

My adorable Evie just turned 3 on July 1st.

She asked me so sweetly if I was going to make her 

something for her birthday.....

How could I say no?

Since she love kitties,

I chose Michael Miller "Happy Hills Calico Cat" fabric

and paired it with some coordinating fabrics from my stash

as well as some pink gingham and bright polka dots.

I used "The Cupcake Dress" pattern by Pink Fig.

I love that the pattern comes with all the sizes

from 12m - 10 yrs! 

The pattern was FTS (fun to sew)

The back of the bodice requires smocking 

with elastic thread.

If you've never tried it,

don't be afraid to give it a go.

You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is.

I just had to share a picture of the darling little dress shoes

that we bought for Evie as well.

They have tiny little 1/2" heals and beaded bows.

I love how tanned her legs are 

and of course, the band-aid :) 

Well the dress turned out to be a big hit.

She has worn it everyday for 4 days,

even sleeping in it and wearing those shoes to bed.

Makes my heart happy :)
