All Things Baby Shower

Tuesday, March 9th @ 6:30

The first three projects can all be made out of fat quarters which is fantastic if you're like me and absolutely detest waiting in the cut line at Joann's.


List of materials:


Baby dress : courtesy of Made by Rae blog

She also has a toddler size pattern if you are interested in a bigger size.  see the blog post for materials

1/2 yard fabric  (two fat quarters will work for this)
1/2 yard of fabric for lining (two fat quarters will work for this too)
coordinating piping and bias tape
thread

note: on my dress I did not use piping mostly because I forgot to buy it, I think the piping looks much better and is easier than what I did.  The trade off is that if you buy a matching bias tape you will not be able to use a patterned fabric on the bottom as I did.  Either way I can show you how to do it.

1/4 yard outer fabric
1/4 yard of linning fabric
