Popover Sundress

(Do you see the other person in this picture?)

Okay, I have some big plans for sewing some clothes for the girls. I really enjoyed Kids Clothes Week and have been inspired ever since. I am hoping to make most of the girls clothes for when they start preschool. I am hoping to make them each

2 skirts
one sundress
one peasant dress
two shirts
one pair of pants
a couple of pairs of leggings

That is a lot of sewing, but I am hoping to just stick to some basic and easier patterns. Plus, I have about seven weeks to get it all done.

This Popover Dress is my first sun dress. I changed the pattern a little bit to make a pleat. I was totally inspired by this one I saw. I liked the little extra flair it added to this simple dress. I used some of Patty Young's new Playdate line. I just love the little dolls! I only used 1/2 a yard for this dress! I like to squeeze every last bit out of my fabric. ;0)

This is the back of the dress. I just left the back as is. I like this dress because as it cools down she can always just layer it with a t-shirt and use it as a jumper.

For my first shirts I am using the Ice Cream Dress pattern and using view C. Juliana picked the cute little girl print, and Felicity wanted the Princess and the Pea. Have you seen the Ice Cream Dress sew a long that is currently in progress? There have been some great versions of this dress already posted!
