I’ll be the first to admit….I’m not a seamstress.
In fact, I didn’t even do well on the sewing part of Home Ec either!
However, my sister and I were in Walmart the other day and I spotted this cute fabric. It’s hard to tell from this picture, but it is already gathered up at the top, and I thought to myself……
“Hey Em, You could TOTALLY do this! Make yourself an Easter dress”
So……..I did. 🙂
No pattern needed. I just hemmed and made one seam down the back.
You just measure your bust (I’ll not be telling you what mine was! Ha ha!) and add one inch.
Then I added some ribbon (burnt on both ends so it doesn’t fray) and Voila! A Very Cute Dress!
So what do you think? Ready to try it? You should totally go for it!
The fabric cost $11.47 per yard at Walmart and $.55 per inch at JoAnn’s.
So I got the whole dress for just over 12 bucks! Not too shabby!
And just for fun, these are my favorite kids in their Easter clothes!
Such cuties!

That is so cute! What a great idea.
Can’t wait to make mine! 🙂 It looks awesome and springy!
$11.47 per yard or $55 an inch?? Is that right? I’ve never seen fabric already gathered on only half of the fabric before. I’m am very impressed! I think I need to make one.
That is awesome! Good thinking Emily! It looks great!
Before our W-M got rid of their fabric section, they had some of that type of fabric. Only it wasn’t as long as yours, or I would have bought the whole bolt when they clearanced it.
This turned out so cute that now I’m wanting to look up a W-M with a fabric section. 🙂
Love that dress!! That fabric is super cute and you did a great job on it!
That is so cute! I totally want to make one now 🙂
