Meg, from Elsie Marley, is having a kids clothes week challenge, where she challenges you to sew clothes for kids an hour a day all week (at least). I love this challenge! My kids are looking forward to what I promised to make for them this week. So I have to do it now since I told them I would. They won’t let me forget, either;).
I bought a 1972 pattern for a little girls smock a couple months ago at a thrift store. 25 cents baby.
It’s obviously too big, even though her body measurements were the same size listed on the back of the pattern. The pattern is a size 3. And it was right. That’s so strange that it would probably fit a 3 year old and it is a size 3 pattern:). Dang measurements–I shouldn’t have even looked at that part, probably! It kind of reminds me of a muumuu dress. My Grandma loves to wear them!
So this fun lil’ dress will be put away for a year, most likely. Then I’ll pair it with some leggings or something. 
But it was fun to make, and I love the sleeves and the zipper back. And the cute Hobby Lobby fabric.
How cute!!! And crazy how old that pattern is! Wow! Love the fabric too.
I have those 2 very fabrics sitting on the table in my sewing room right now.
I think it looks adorable!
Way cute! I love how the style I wore as a little girl are back, but with way cooler fabric and prints :)
The dress is adorable and so is your daughter!
How cute!!! Why put it up? It looks awesome now AND she can still wear it later. :-) Man, I need to be in on this challenge so that I can FINISH my kiddos’ projects; just not motivated this week. :-)
Darling dress and fabric. It looks great even if it is a little big.
This is my favorite fabric to use!!!
