Good Morning Good Night

Have you heard of No Big Dill's Once upon a Thread? Its an awesome month long project where she asked different bloggers to pick their favorite children's books and do a project based on them . There are some really great ones. Definitely go check them out. While they are all awesome, I'm particularly drawn to The Love you Forever Skirt from A Lemon Squeezy Home. Probably because that's is one of my favorite children's books.  So while reading all these wonderful posts about cute children's books, I decided that Tabitha needed a dress based on her favorite book, Good Morning, Good Night. Tabitha Loves this book, She loves to pet each animal and say nigh nigh to each one. She makes us read it at least 3 times a night.

I started with a really pretty Yellow with red flowers for the top, (can't remember the name of it right now) and some blue with stars that i've had in my stash forever. The Skirt is made from 1/4 yard of the star fabric and lined with unbleached muslin. The top is made from the yellow flower material and completely lined. I used some pretty buttons I got on clearance at Joann fabric's a while ago.  The sash is made from more unbleached muslin and the little lamb poking out of the belt is made of leftover minky from Tabitha's first halloween costume (she was a lamb! haha). The top has a boat neck and 3/4 length sleeves. My favorite part is that the little lamb fits in the pocket that the sash makes. So cute!

So for St Patricks Day I wanted to make Tabitha a dress that was a little different, something that didn't look like everything in the stores, or everything I was seeing online. I had a ton of idea's for this dress, and kind of went with it as i went along. The Skirt and sleeves are made from Alexander Henry's Heart Throbs in Green, the top is made from some green and white striped material i got on clearance at Joann fabrics and has been in my stash for ever. The sash is some Green cotton from Fabrics R us in San Jose, I got it for a quilt I was going to make for someone but ended up not making it. The underskirt is green glitter tule from Joann Fabrics left over from Tabitha's first christmas dress. The hair bow and the little doohiki on the sash are both from the glitter tule. 

I had to tell Tabitha to stand like a ballerina so we could see the belt. 

Tabitha likes big bows!

Tabitha is very much a girly girl. Last night She wanted me to put perfume on her and every morning she asks for a bow in her hair. 

I took Pictures to do a tutorial which I will upload later this week.
