I love this Apron Wrap Dress! I have made it in just about every size from 12 months to 8 now, and in all sorts of combinations: patchwork madras for the end of summer, pink and green paisley for the beach, and now a "woodsy" japanese import print with red gingham on the reverse for Scarlett's Woodland Picnic birthday. I'm not sure which is my favorite, but I think layering this dress for Fall is perfect for our change of seasons.
The simple, linear shaping of this dress is a really fun foil to the full ruffler blouse. I love the way it frames Scarlett's face. A turtleneck would be fun too. Is that so throwback?!
The reverse of this dress is great faux bois fabric from Joel Dewberry: Woodgrain fabric. I love faux bois.
I think the it looks terrific with the red gingham. But Scarlett prefers to wear the yellow "critter" side out. (It's another Cosmo Textiles japese import print, which I purchased well over a year ago and can't find online currently.) And Audrey said of the faux bois, "it is a little weird, Mom." I love her honesty!
Well, I would wear the faux bois side out but Scarlett can make the pick for her party.
So this means the birthday party outfits (and balloons) are ready to go (thank you KCWC for the extra push!). Tess isn't getting something new. She may wear this little critter dress from Scarlett's first party. Or perhaps something warmer. We'll see what the weather does. Seems like it was just summer!
This also means the Apron Wrap Dress pattern is finished an available in my Etsy Shop! So happy to cross it off my list! It is designed for sizes 1 year to 8 years! I am offering it at 30% off through October 21st with the coupon code: INTRO30. And, if you leave me a comment here, I'll pick three random winners Tuesday, October 18th to receive the pattern free.
Have a great weekend! Isn't it Friday yet?

Very cute dress pattern. And love the fabric combo of yellow and wood. Thanks for the chance to win the pattern.
I love that yellow - almost as much as the red deer fabric that you used in the wrap skit. Thanks for the chance to win the pattern! It's adorable!
I love this dress! I would be so thrilled to win a free pattern. :)

These dresses are so precious...and don't look too difficult. Maybe I could try my hand...
I love how versatile this little pattern is. Thanks for the opportunity. Lara
I would be tempted to pick the faux bois, too -- I think I have a bit of every color tucked away -- but the yellow woodland fabric is too, too, too cute.
Beautiful dress, great fabrics, I know my girls would love those fabrics as well :D
Thank you for this giveaway winning chance :).

What a great dress with such fun prints!
When I view your blog on my iphone now the photos don't load correctly (I can view say 3/4 of the photo). Does anyone else have this problem or something strange with my phone?
Can't wait to see the results of all your hard work
Wow, the dress is sooooo cute! Would love to win the pattern. Thanks for the chance, Denise
I'm pretty new to subscribing to your blog but I already get a smile when I see a new post pop up ... you've got me hooked ;). So hello to you and thank you for all this wonderful inspiration. I know some little girls in my life that would look adorable in this apron dress :).
Happy Day!
Thanks, everyone! So nice to have your feedback.
@CBH: I am one of the few who isn't using an iPhone. I wish I knew more! Maybe I'll have someone else test it for me. I wouldn't know if it's my specific site (my photos are extra large...) or something with your particular phone. I hope it gets better!

Fantastic and just perfect for the party, well done! Ooh please pop me in your hat, I have only just started sewing but already love making clothes for my little one so would love to win one of your patterns. x
This is so cute!!! I WANT ONE!
I am just learning to sew "real things," after sewing by hand and basic things for years. I am also learning how a sewing machine works "for real," and not just how to get it to sew where I want, so this would be a fun (and do-able) early project!
This is so cute! I can't wait till my baby girl grows a bit more to wear adorable dresses like this!
Beautiful, as usual!! Pressing the "Like" button!
I have just the fabric in mind for this darling dress! I love the madras print one tho...hmm, maybe have to make more than one! =)
