Christmas Dresses
Posted on 03 February 2010
I finally had some sunlight to take pics of 2 dresses I made for Sam for Christmas today!
Numbers Dress
I used the Indygo Junction Sister Smocks pattern for both dresses. The pattern was great to follow and simple enough for me to get them done in 24 hours.

For the first dress I used the numbers from Moda’s au.then.tic line. Having a kid who loves letters and numbers the way she does I knew that this one would be a hit.
For the second dress I let her pick the fabric. Not surprisingly she chose something near and dear to her heart…Robots!
Robot Dress
The fabric is Cogsmo from the Cosmic Cricket line. It is adorable and has enough color in it to make it accessible for use in a girls dress and not just for boys.
bodice detail
I chose the dress that is normally supposed to have a panel down the front but I omitted it because it felt too busy with all the robots and circuit boards. I think I made the right decision.
bottom band
When she opened this gift she just looked at me and grinned. She was so excited. It’s fun to watch her pick fabric and then be able to see (and wear) the product.
