Easter is next weekend already. How did that happen so fast? \u00a0It’s always fun to sew up a pretty dress for my little girl for Easter, so I thought I’d share some inspiration with you today to get those wheels turning.<\/p>\n

\"easter<\/a><\/p>\n

This lovely dress<\/a> by Tea Collection is almost the spitting image of our new Hide And Seek<\/a>\u00a0pattern! \u00a0Sew it up in some Michael Miller Cotton Couture<\/a>\u00a0and create your own textured fabric on the yoke (browse the trim section of the fabric store, or maybe add a little handstitching?). \u00a0Check out this tutorial<\/a> to add ruffle sleeves, and your little one will have a unique and special Easter dress that transitions nicely to playtime, too.<\/p>\n

\"easter<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of playtime,\u00a0this dress<\/a> (again from Tea Collection) is so sweet in a floral print and you could make something similar with our Playtime Dress<\/a> pattern. \u00a0Check back later this week for a tutorial on how to easily modify any pattern to be sleeveless. Wouldn’t this be lovely in Koi Voile<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"easter<\/a><\/p>\n

How adorable is this little cutie in her bird print dress<\/a> by Boden? \u00a0Try the Puppet Show Dress<\/a>\u00a0in a fun bird print (like this<\/a> or\u00a0this<\/a> or this<\/a>)!<\/p>\n

\"easter<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally,\u00a0this dress<\/a> by Olive Juice Kids reminds me of our Roller Skate Dress<\/a>. Add a pretty ribbon to the side instead of the center front, draft a peter pan collar<\/a> to fit, and you’re all set! \u00a0I love a great print, but pretty solids highlight the lines of a design and create such versatile garments. \u00a0Try Cotton Couture again in a blush pink<\/a>, or any other pretty pastel.<\/p>\n

Have you started sewing for Easter yet? \u00a0We’d love to hear which patterns\/fabrics you’re using in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
