Geranium Dresses

Some of you have said you like to see my other sewing... so here are 7 little dresses, sizes 2 and 4. I made these for the shoebox gifts my church sends to El Salvador.

OMG, those little girls will go crazy over them. So darling.

Those are so adorable! I am sure some little girls will love them! What a beautiful gift you have made! Love your choice of prints!

What wonderful gifts some little girls will be thrilled with! Such a wonderful cause, thank you! As always you do amazing work.

Charming addition to the shoe box gifts! I can hear little squeals and smiles on faces.

I'm one of those people you mentioned! I love seeing things other than quilts. Your work is wonderful!

Do they also take pillow case dresses? I had forgotten about that. I used to make a lot of those.

Very cute dresses!

How sweet! They’re so pretty

Those little girls will love them. God bless you for doing that. They are adorable.

Thank you, everyone.
Jshep, I would think if the pillowcase dresses fit in the box, they would be a fine gift. You just don't want them to be bulky and take up too much of the box. Glad I got your wheels turning!

Hi Sewbizgirl! I love the little dresses. Our church is also doing shoeboxes. Did you use the basic pattern or do you have the expansion patterns of the geranium dress? I would like to get the pattern and don't know if the add on would be that much more helpful for these dresses. Thank you. Those are so adorable.

Love your dresses. They give me a happy feeling. Someone will love them

Your dresses bring back good memories of my mother. She made dresses just like yours for her all of granddaughters.

mopec. I just used the basic pattern for a sleeveless dress. Or cap sleeve, I guess it was. I did not buy the expansion pattern for sleeves. These dresses are going to a hot climate so no need for long sleeves....

Thank you sewbizgirl. I purchased the basic pattern. I am anxious to make one and see how much room it takes up in a shoebox.

Let us see your dresses if you make some.

Oh I so wanted to have a daughter too. For some reason I wanted twins, one a girl and one a boy. Had the boy. I knew he was going to be a boy too for some reason. Those lovely dresses are so very cute! Makes me sigh!!

sewbizgirl 09-26-2021 11:14 PM

There are plenty of little girls in the world who would love to have you sew for them, Quiltwoman! Just jump in and get started.
