Junebug Dress

 Over a month ago I bought the Junebug Dress pattern and I just finished sewing up this little dress for a little girl using that pattern.
 The Junebug Dress offers a few options: dress or tunic, with or without sleeves. I sewed the dress version with sleeves in size 2T using gray cotton from Hancock and 6 white buttons from JoAnn. By following this pattern I learned a new way of constructing a bodice, it's always fun to learn something new.
 And inside there is a little surprise with a pop of color ~ some pink bias binding on the skirt/bodice seam.
I hope it fits the little girl, but if it's too big, she can always grow into it, right?

Off to start my next sewing project...

Just as pretty on the inside as the outside!
Very pretty. This pattern is on my must-do list.
Too big is a million times better than too small!

Gorgeous! I made this dress up a couple of years ago using Jess' tutorial. It's a lovely design:)

How adorable! And so well made. If you hadn't mentioned it I could have mistaken the inside of the dress for the outside!

I love the classic style of this dress! I can imagine a child wearing this in the Luxembourg gardens carrying a little boat!

Well, I can't take any credit, it was the little girl's mother who chose the sewing pattern, fabric and buttons. But I agree with you, it has a classic look and I can imagine a little girl in Paris wearing it!
