Meadow dress pics at the park

A couple weeks ago we took Melody to the park to get some pictures of one of the dresses I'm selling on Etsy. It's a peasant style dress. She did great, and I'm loving that she is at the age that I can get pics of her in the style of handmade dresses that I'm making!

I'm still only half way through the Nikon book for dummies (I read everything like 20 times), but i'm learning a lot and feel like i'm starting to get the hang of my camera!

So...Etsy? Yep! Posted a few 'ready to ship' dresses in this exact style! Check em' out here. This is what us advertising folks refer to as a 'soft launch'!

Wanted to take a quick break to share! Now back to sewing, I'm working to get more items up for Easter!

Chicky Easter Dress

Last week, I decided last minute to make Melody an Easter dress. I just happen to have the perfect fabric scraps from Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane collection, and plain white linen.

Instead of a pillowcase dress, I sewed the bow part to the dress, so you could see more of the fabric. I've been dying to applique something, and was surprised how how easy this actually was. The chick design was super easy, and I really love how it all came together! I'll be incorporating more appliques in my sewing for sure!

And...A matching hair bow! She loved her Easter Baskets, Melody had a great first Easter. Next year, we hunt for eggs, cant wait!
