Fourth of July Playdate Dress
Happy Fourth of July! If you are celebrating with us here in the U.S., I hope you have barbeques and fireworks on your agenda today.
Over the weekend, I whipped up the Playdate Dress from Craftiness is Not Optional. Jess is a blogging all-star and is constantly putting out free tutorials and patterns for super cute girls clothes.
I didn't deviate from Jess's pattern at all, and though it is sized 2T, it was a perfect fit for my behemoth 1 year old. Ruby isn't quite walking, so I made the dress super short (nothing frustrates her more than getting her knees caught up in a dress) and paired it with some matching zig zag bloomers using Dana's Perfect Diaper Cover tutorial.
It was such an easy sew and looks really cute, so I foresee many more playdate dresses in Ruby's wardrobe.
Just for fun, here's a photo of a neighbor's patriotic dog statue:
Wouldn't it be fun if we all had that level of enthusiasm for the holidays? :)
