UFO Dress
 
2 Attachment(s)
My sisters and I found this fabric and pattern tied up together while going through some more of my late mom's things. I brought it home just out of curiosity and because the pattern is cute. This afternoon I decided I'd either do something with it or toss it. Turns out part of the pattern had been cut out but there wasn't enough fabric for the front of the dress. I took the challenge and this is what came of it. Now to determine which of the tykes will get it. We have three granddaughters under the age of two, surely it will fit one of them. What do you think? Did I manage a decent finish for one of mom's UFO's?

Very cute! Probably just how she was going to finish it!

Merivale 01-02-2012 12:00 AM

That is sooooo groovy. All three will want it.

That is extra, extra cute. Nice job finishing it.

Darling! now may suggest you go to Joann's and get maybe 3 whimsical buttons to down the yoke or sew a pretty red bow at the neck. And you know you'll have to make more with 2 gds.
So cute!

Oh, I wish I were tiny - it's adorable and I want one too!

Really pretty and fresh looking.

bjchad 01-02-2012 04:51 AM

You did great. Is there enough fabric left to put pockets or an applique on? Checks on the white and white on the checks.

If you decide to go to Joann's and get buttons you may want to pick up some more fabric for the other two gds! I am sure they will be begging for the cute little dress!

That is just too cute, they will love it. You will probably have to make two more.

thimblebug6000 01-02-2012 08:19 AM

Absolutely perfect, just the way it is!

That is a good save. Reminds me of an outfit I made for 4-H. I used black and white and made the top for a white pair of shorts. Think I placed on it and went to the state contest. Back in the early 60's. Fashion does have it's cycles.

Maria C 01-02-2012 09:14 AM

Certainly did. Great finish.

Rock Lady 01-02-2012 09:32 AM

I think you did a wonderful job of finishing it. Great idea.

RedGarnet222 01-02-2012 09:42 AM

I love colorblocked garments. Great job on the finished dress!

delma_paulk 01-02-2012 04:50 PM

That is so cute!!! I made those for my girls many moons ago. Need to find it for my GGD and make her one.

Alli 01-02-2012 05:27 PM

So cute!

Yes I love this idea put some fun buttons down the front or a cute pocket with trim... love the fact that you finished up one of your Mom's UFOs.. She is smiling on you and yes you know you will have to make more so all GD will have one and then take a pic ...;)

Caswews 01-03-2012 06:37 AM

Great job !! very cute and I am sure your mom is smiling down on you and saying that is my girl !!

Glenda m 01-03-2012 06:48 AM

I found packages like that at Goodwill. Bought 5 for the fabric. When I got it home .. everything was there. Pattern cut out, buttons, thread. All I had to do is sew them together. Ended up with four cute outfits, used the 'pink' in a baby quilt I was making. Now to find someone that is a size 14 to give the outfits to. LOL Know anybody?

carolynjo 01-03-2012 11:21 AM

Lovely! Any of the girls will love it, and you will have to make 2 more!

polly13 01-03-2012 01:13 PM

Bet she's smilin' as you finish her ufo.

maryb119 01-03-2012 01:51 PM

That is so cute! You did a great job with the chalenge.

scraphq 01-03-2012 02:37 PM

The dress is so cute. Better get busy and make 2 more or you will be in BIG trouble!

MargeD 01-03-2012 03:38 PM

I would say you did your Mother proud - that's a wonderful dress, and you can call it an original design.

ncsewer 01-03-2012 03:43 PM

So cute!! Good work on figuring it out. I agree, you'll have 2 more wondering where there's is!!

ging10ging 01-03-2012 03:48 PM

That is very cute. Three cute little buttons of something that one of the girls like they have cute little red ladybugs, etc. good job. Don't you love finding something you can finish like that. Sue

sewnbug 01-03-2012 04:36 PM

Great save!! Color blocking is cool. You did a GREAT job. Why not make 2 more in the same style and then all the girls will have one.
