I am starting to get in the groove. The start of school takes a bit to get the hang of for me every year. But, I am thinking that I am getting my schedule down. And, like I said in my last post, Fall is in the air and I love it. It really makes me feel so good. So, with that in mind, I decided it was time to attempt the French Ruffle Dress again, but with some Fall colors. I had just the tiniest bit of this brown and orange calico that I used for the ruffle and the chocolate brown is a pinwale corduroy. I used a brown and white polka dot fabric for the facing. And, I love the button I found for the back. Overall, I love the colors. It's such a quick sew, but remember it does run small. This is the 4T and it is just a smidge too big for my 2 year old. Keep that in mind.
*I fixed the link that will take you to my first version of this dress. On that post I have the link to the etsy shop where I bought the pattern. But, if you want to just go directly to the esty shop manimina for the pattern, then click here!

That is such a darling dress! The model is pretty cute as well. Good job, honey.
No way! I just inherieted the same orange and brown printed fabric from my grandma! I made a cute baby skirt out of it though!
Very cute! I need to get my sewing area straightened out so I can get sewing again.
That is beautiful - I love the fabrics you've chosen!
I love the fabrics together. And the colors look so good on your darling model. The button is a find -love it!
oh...love these colors. Makes me thinking of thanksgiving!
i hear you on getting in the school groove--still working on that one myself....
This is an amazing dress. I also love the colors. Congrats again.
That is so cute and looks so nice on your daughter! Perfect for fall! Unfortunately, with the high today being 95 here in San Antonio, it's hard to think it's fall, but the high tomorrow is only 82! Very cute, thanks for sharing. (I'm hosting a giveaway on my personal blog, if you're interested, http://sewgoodsewfar.wordpress.com)
