The Cat Dress

August 4, 2009 by Jessica 18 Comments

This is the dress I made for my daughter’s birthday.

Good enough

I wanted to go for the Japanese sewing book style. I actually have a kids clothing one, but I was too lazy to figure it out. I just came up with my own design and tailored it to her.

Front of Cat Linen Dress

I embroidered/appliqued the cat on (pattern here found via One Pretty Thing).

I don’t do too much embroidery, but it was nice and relaxing to do a little bit.

Back of Cat Linen Dress

Of course, my daughter loved it. She kept pointing at the cat and the little 2’s I added in with the rain since she is two now.

    thank you everyone ๐Ÿ™‚

    “did you refashion your daughters dress from another garment? It has a skirt like quality,”

    Actually, I used a linen material called linen suiting. I bought it at JoAnn’s. It was nice and soft.

I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantl I have this idea for Valentines decor on our mantle and these fun confetti hearts I made are going to be a part of it. You can find a tutorial to make your own from @amanda_evanston . A few of the items I used in mine were: shredded Anthropologie shopping bag (and cut up the fabric handle too), cut up newspaper, hole punched card stock, fringe from yarn, cut up gold circle confetti, crinkled gift filler paper, etc... It was fun using all kinds of random things ๐Ÿ˜Š
