It’s been a little while since I’ve had a chance to post on my blog. Between attending SNAP conference, moving from California to Utah and my husband traveling for work it’s been one heck of a busy month!
I’m finally emerging from the mounds of boxes and what seems like never-ending piles to sort through to give you all an update on what I’ve been working on. For starters, my sewing room still isn’t completely unpacked, but I’m making progress. So I sewed these adorable dresses on my dining room table. I convinced my husband that we needed a big table for hosting friends and family. Little did he know that our dining room table would somehow morph into my new sewing spot. Eeek! But can you really blame me? The table is huge, it has two leafs and it’s just oh, so perfect for sewing!
How adorable is this Juliette Dress? It’s a brand new pattern created by Sew Pony and Kneesocks and Goldilocks. If you don’t already follow Jill (Kneesocks and Goldilocks on IG) you are missing out! She has the perfect sense of style and always incorporates a bit of vintage flair into all of her makes. So of course, I said yes, when she invited me to her blog tour! You are going to love all the Juliette Dress inspiration on this blog tour!
Ever since we moved to Utah I’ve been dying to do a photoshoot at this fun brightly-colored wall! I squeezed some sewing in and we took our girls over to the wall. Apparently, it’s a pretty hot spot for photos, there were 6 other photographers there at the same time and we took turns trading colored walls with each other. One of the photographers let us have her adorable yellow balloon once her shoot was over. Doesn’t it make for the cutest photos? I’m just dying over Vivienne in this picture, those ankles are just too much!!
I used a brand new fabric line from Michael Miller Fabrics called Doodle Daisy to make these adorable little dresses. You can find the collection here.
I made a size 12 month for Vivienne with sleeves. I chose the Doodle Daisy border print for her dress and I’m just thrilled with how it turned out. Aren’t those flowers just the sweetest? I’m a hopeless sucker for a good border print!
I really love how the neckline of this dress is finished with bias tape, because it lends such a nice and clean look to this dress. Madeline is wearing a size 3 and I feel like both dresses are sized perfectly!
Make sure to stop by all the other blogs participating in this fun blog tour. There’s sure to be lots of great sewing inspiration!
Wow! Gorgeous dresses, girls and back drop! Thanks so much Kimberly! Your dresses are amazing:)
Thanks so much, Suz! I loved making these dresses. Thanks for inviting me to your tour!
Such pretty dresses on sisters 🙂 The border print is so lovely!
Super cute!
Kim, I absolutely love these images and your dresses! Your dresses are fabulous and the girls look adorable. I can totally see why this wall is so popular for photo shoots. I would be trying to coordinate photos around these colors all the time. I love the yellow balloon, how awesome that someone shared that with you.
Thanks so much, Cassy! It was such a fun spot, but it was almost comical as we each switched walls with each other. I’ll definitely be planning a few more outfits around the colors on this wall. It’s actually the back of the Cents of Style building that we were supposed to have our class at.
The wall is great, as are your pictures! They could have come straightly from a fashionable kids magazine. I’m happy to have discovered your blog through the Juliette tour!
Oh, I’m so glad we have found each other! Your blog is wonderful! I just adore those little bunny pants you made!
Oh, your girls are adorable! Those walls make a really fun backdrop, and the border print is really cute on these dresses! I like the contrasting binding at the necklines.
Thanks so much, Charity! I really like the contrast too, it gives it a fun pop of color. I’m a sucker for a border print so I was afraid to cut into this fabric, but I’m glad I finally did.
I can’t stand all the cuteness in these photos!!! The dresses are so, so pretty, and your girls are both soooooo adorable! Beautiful fabrics, too!
Awe, thanks! You are so sweet Emi!
The dresses are so pretty! And your backdrop is perfect! Your girls look adorable in their dresses!
Thank you so much, Maria! Isn’t that backdrop just so fun? I was glad to have found it!
I had to comment and say, “Yay! A daughter named Vivienne!” My oldest daughter, now 22, is called Vivienne! And she was a cute baby, just like yours. 😊 Gorgeous dresses too. I’m also a sucker for a good border print.
It’s been one of my favorite names for many years! So fun to find someone else who named their daughter the same.
Babies are very cute ^^
