AMH Easter Dresses

April 21, 2011 By crafterhours 30 Comments

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!

    I love these. Beautiful and springy, but simple enough that you can get a lot of use out of them.

    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. :)
