Simplicity 5695 again...
Have I mentioned that I LOVE this pattern??
It is Simplicity 5695. I think this is the sixth time I've used it, making everything from knit tee shirts to a flower girl dress. If you sew for a little girl, you should have this pattern. Simplicity also just expanded the size range to include bigger girls from size 3 to 8. The larger size pattern is number 2377 and includes some cute sleeve variations as well. Myra is sporting a size 2 here, and I think it gives her a little room to grow, which is good, since she's been busily growing out of all her dresses!
I was planning to sew this dress with my sewing group, but the fabric was sitting on my table just calling to me, so I had to sew it. I think it will be easier to teach pattern layout without the added complexity of multiple fabrics anyway, so I'm telling myself that it's better this way. And I have an excuse to sew it again! I love this pattern.

I can imagine you love that pattern, the dress looks very cute. I love the fabric(s?) you used for it, so colourful. Fun!
That is a really summer-y dress. Very pretty. I was looking at the Cars dress you made with this patter (is that it in the background?) and noticed that the beige cars fabric you used is the same one I have saved for a shirt for Alex. Once again I miss the Wal-mart fabric department. :(
Super cute!! I wish I had a little girl to sew for, you just can't do those cute fabric combinations for boys! I'll have to talk to my brother about getting me a niece....
That is a simply adorable dress - you can make it 1000X and I would still love to see all the iterations!
Cute !
Darling! I never thought of sewing a t-shirt with this pattern, thanks for the idea!
Who is this child you're passing off as Myra? Far. Too. Grown. Up. Other than that, cute dress:)
Gorgeous dress! I love your fabric choices. Uber cute.
So cute as are your children. I'm going to note this pattern so i can make it for my DD's
I do believe this is the cutest picture yet!! She is adorable!!
Super cute! She looks thrilled with it. :) You know, I think I might have bought the sz3-8 version during the last pattern sale. It's a really cute design.
Great dress and your little girl looks so happy in her new dress!
Love your print/fabric combo! Little kids can get away with so much more fun than we can.
Just love the little dress. The fabrics are so bright and cute.
I didn't recognize Myra - she's growing up so fast! Cute dress too!
