This has been in the making since April (yes, that is how old most of these pictures are), so I’m super duper happy to have it all finished! Hooray! This pattern has been so much fun for me and my testers all say they really enjoyed it too. Let me share a bit about it.


The above dress is a more simple one, which is what the main set of instructions share on how to create.




The pattern shares measurements to create a shirt or a dress, but you can alter that length to what you like.






From Alida from I Make Stuff:
Amazing! She took some time to make this dress! I told all my testers they could go as simple as they need to because I understand time and all. But this girl whipped this up in like two days! Isn’t is cute? And her daughter so precious?
From Beth from From the Hive:



Beth was a go getter with making one for her daughter and for the girl she watches during the summer. She did both dresses in knits. I love how she tiered the hearts one. Both girls are beautiful little models!
From Corey of Living and Loving Every Minute of It:
Doesn’t Corey take beautiful pictures? And her daughter is a gorgeous model. Corey made my day when she said this is one of her favorite things she’s made for her daughter in a while.
From Nicole at Cole’s Corner and Creations:
