Tea Party Dress

I'm so excited about this dress!  It took a few hours, but it was worth it and I absolutely love it!   The bodice is fully lined and the buttons on the back of the dress are made with the contrasting fabric, matching the sash and band around the bottom.  I can't wait to make it in different sizes and fabrics...so many possibilities...

Bandana Sunsuit

I saw this cute sunsuit tutorial on Made By Rae, and just had to give it a try.  Since I've never shirred fabric before, I didn't want to use anything that was too expensive in case I completely ruined it, so I pulled a couple bandanas out of my stash and went to work!

Surprisingly, shirring was so easy! I absolutely love it and plan to use the technique a lot more in the future.  The sunsuit turned out pretty great and I can't wait to make another one soon.  The only thing I think I'll change next time is adding a fourth snap to the bottom, and probably some cute buttons to the straps. 

One Saturday afternoon + no baby = two dresses

I had an entire afternoon to myself, so what do I do of course?!...SEW!  After a quick trip to Joann's for a couple supplies, I was on a roll.  I whipped up this adorable flag dress and this customizable bandana dress for my Etsy store.

Just getting started....

Welcome to Piccolo's blog!  I'm just getting started, so please be patient while I'm getting everything organized.  I'm hoping to use this bog to keep everyone updated on my newest creations, and maybe even share a tutorial or two.  If you haven't already, check out my Etsy store and "like" us on Facebook.
