I have had so much fun with this!
If you’ve visited Flamingo Toes before you probably know that I’ve got teenagers. So I don’t get too many chances to sew adorable clothes for little ones.
When Lindsay from The Cottage Home asked me to be a part of the blog tour for her new patterns, I jumped at the chance!
Let me just clue you in here – Lindsay’s patterns are CRAZY cute! I chose to do the Charlotte Apron Dress and I loved it so much, I made two!!
The have the sweetest little aprons – and I had this super cute bicycle fabric, so I dressed them up with my Bicycle Embroidery Pattern!
I’ve been giving out little hints on Instagram this week of my embroidered bicycles – here is where they are!
How cute is this dress?? I loved it. It was super easy to read, really clear, and I loved that it was a paper pattern.
I also love all the options!!
This is the 4T – my littlest niece loves orange – so this pink and orange print with the little orange bicycles should be a big hit!
For hers, I included the ruffle on the apron and the cute center panel on the bodice.
Her sister is a couple of years older – so her dress is similar, but I left the ruffle off the apron. I love this gray and plum combination!
Both girls love to “twirl” and these are super full skirts. Perfect for twirling!
Here’s a peek at the Charlotte Apron pattern –
It’s sized 6 mos through 8 years and it has all the instructions and pattern pieces, plus options for the teapot applique, a yo-yo apron and the embellished bodice.
