AMH Easter Dresses

I've seen so many gorgeous Easter dresses this week!  It's the best time of year to be a blog-reader sewing for little girls :)   

Here's what I came up with.  Just simple sundresses with ruffle sleeves.  I let the gorgeous AMH print do the heavy lifting.



Little sister's has bloomers (made with a slightly altered Big Butt Baby Pants pattern.  It's so versatile!)



It was my first time encasing the sleeve between the bodice front and lining, so that was fun.

And I did the same for the zipper.  There's probably a "right" way to do this, but I just kind of winged it and I love the result!

We had our Easter egg hunt nearly 3 weeks ago, so I had a chance to take some pre-Easter dress shots.

P is a better model when she has a cupcake.


But even that doesn't last long before she's off exploring.

Gorgeous spring sunshine, flowery dresses, good friends, and hide 'n seek.  It doesn't get much better than that for a 4 yr old.




Actually, it doesn't get much better than that for me either.

Check back after Easter to see the beautiful dresses Susan made for her girls!

Happy Easter!

  8. Gorgeous! Love the prints and how the dresses coordinate but aren't identical. :) I really like the picture of your little girl with the cupcake too. I just encased my first sleeves in a lined bodice for my daughter's Easter dress. I was/am still pretty excited it worked. :)
