I’ve tinkered with the knot dress pattern several times since the first time I sewed Addison’s birthday dress. This time, I used a light pink Kona cotton for the main skirt and it turned out so beautifully. The dress looks and feels luxurious. This particular cotton is more substantial and drapes nicely. I prefer the ruffles sewn on 1/4 of the way down from the top of the strip rather than across the center as I originaly did. This dress will be up for sale in my shop this week.
I made another party hat to coordinate which will also be in the shop. These hats are too fun. If you missed the original tutorial, go to the party hat tutorial here. If you’ve made a hat or two, show me please! I’d love to see what you’re making!
Happy Monday!

Oh. My. Goodness. I just stumbled across your blog ~ I was doing a Google search for something ~ can’t remember what it was now ~ but I clicked the link, and this dress just made me breathless! Our little girl would look *so* adorable in it for Valentine’s Day. (She’s four.) You are so talented! Just added your blog to my list of reads and your Etsy shop to my favorites.

Hello –
My daughter-in-law wants me to make this dress “pretty in pink”, (posted 1-31-11) or “picture it” (made in yellow and apricot, posted 7-20-11) for my granddaughter turning 3 in July. I am a pattern person, is there a pattern or tutorial available?
Thank you,
Lynn
