It's "Design your own fabric" week and I have been so excited for this week!
I had tons of things I wanted to try out:
Embroidery
Eventually, I ended up going with reverse applique cause I'm on an applique kick (note Hanson shirt last week).
I decided to go with a "stained glass window" look and drafted a design I liked then went to town sewing around all my shapes. Then I got to be a little scissor happy and cut all those suckers out!
The kids have been calling it the "Rapunzel dress".
You've got me.....

You've got me.....
I used Modkid's "Lexi Dress" pattern to make the actual dress. It's an adorable and super comfy play dress and Aevarie loves the cut out in the back. She insisted she sew the button on herself too.
I deviated from the pattern a bit and just sewed on the gathered skirt rather than making a band. I'm a rebel, what can I say?
Aevarie may have begged to wear it to bed as well......so, yeah, that means she loves it.

ReplyDeletewill you sew clothes for me?
Cool, Karly! I'm always a little afraid to cut with reverse applique...especially with knit! Very brave :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I did a similar style of technique, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is FABULOUS! "Flower Gleam and Glow" That's what you should have called it, LOL! Its just perfect <3
ReplyDeleteThe famous Karly sews along again! Yours is a great post to look at while we wait for the contestants post! Love your very intricate reverse appliqué. We did some reverse appliqué for week 1, but this week we went the fabric paint/markers and stencils route.
ReplyDeleteI love it, the colors are great together and it does look super comfy!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! This dress looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the colors and the shapes you used. I may have to dig out this Modkid pattern again for my Avery after seeing yours!
ReplyDeleteFrom a distance it looks painted on. That is so well done karly! And it does look super comfy.
ReplyDeleteThat is so innovative! I will have to try that. I love the mandala/rose window design. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! That dress is just so refined and not crafty looking... gorgeous!! What a great theme this week! [email protected]
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work as always! I love the stenciling and the color combo! Not to mention you little girl is sooo freaking pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the stained glass look!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was painted... nice surprised to see it wasn't! Great job Karly!
