I have never sewn any clothes for my little girl but I have been wanting to forever. So I thought I would start off with something simple. A little dress with some cute details. Pockets and a little bow.

 
The best part of the dress is that gorgeous 100% linen. It hangs so nicely and was easy to sew with. I was going to iron it after washing it but I didn’t. I loved the slightly wrinkled look so much.

And she loves it too. Phew. She calls it her polka dot princess dress.

That purple bow compliments the grey linen perfectly. Blurry photo and all.

I thought for a minute that I was crazy sewing with 100% linen for a kid but I wasn’t. It is the perfect fabric. Luckily I have some leftover so I think I will sew a skirt next. Or a top. Sewing clothes for her could become addictive.
