The new Sweetie Dress sewing pattern just released by Ellie and Mac sure is sweet! The girls dress comes in two lengths, dress and tunic length and you can also choose between several sleeve lengths. It is the perfect year dress. With long sleeves it can be worn through the fall and winter and short sleeves in the spring and fall. Please fabric giveaway at the end of my post!
I made Baby Girl’s dress from an adorable cat double brushed polyester from So Sew English fabrics. Isn’t it cute? They actually have some in stock right now here! Hurry! She also has a pair of leggings in this fabric, however I thought that might be a little much. Maybe? I have been hoarding this cat fabric for awhile!! In fact, I still have quite a bit of fabric left. Would you like to win a yard? Sign up at the end of the post!
One of her latest favorite things is this pink cat stuffed animal. It is part of a Doc Mcstuffins Vet Carrier set. She loves to carry her little cat around. She has been hit or his miss with wearing dresses, but she is actually starting to like them more as she gets older. So, that day she happened to playing a lot with her little pink cat. I had a great idea! I told her, her cat would probably love for her to wear a cat dress to match her. She fell for it and loved the idea. The only problem with my brilliant idea was…
She did not want to put her cute little kitty cat down for any of the pictures. I usually try to get pictures without any distractions. However when photographing toddlers, I have found sometimes they work with you and sometimes you have to work really hard to get a photo. In my previous posts, I have given a little advice on taking photos of toddlers. My best advice is just to let them play and capture them playing. Bribery is now starting to work with her too. LOL. She will now say, “Put camera down, Mommy.” So now, I can as her to “stand over here and smile and I will put it down”. Those pictures are not as usually as good as the pictures where she is playing though.
Real smiles are always the best!! There were a few times she put her pink kitty cat down, but it was so she could pull her around in the wagon, hello wagon…
Just look at that dress though! I just love it! The Sweetie dress sewing pattern will definitely be a staple in our wardrobe! I am currently working on a Christmas tunic version. I am so excited. It is a super fast sew too! Now when she finally did put her kitty cat down, she kept running from me, so I took lots of pictures of the back of the dress for you. LOL!

Super cute dress! I’ve eying the cat fabric myself.
Thank you!! It is such a fun fabric! I am surprised they still have some in stock!
I love that fabric. I would love to win some. I love how cute she is, and how she tells you to put the camera down.
Thanks! The fabric is fun!! She is a girl that knows what she wants and I have no idea where she gets that from. LOL!
I love her kitty dress! She looks adorable in it and I love that she has her stuffed kitty with her!
I might just have to use your toddler photography tips with my teenagers! Lol! It seems like I have to take a million pictures with them because they are either stiff or being goofy… but then I always end up with some good ones out of the bunch!
Thanks!! Lol! Yes, kids, no matter the age, can be difficult to cooperate for pictures. Luckily my son does an amazing job!
Super cute dress I love seeing all her mama made! ♥️
Thanks Becky!! I love making her clothes!
So cute! I love the cat fabric. I’m trying to rack my brain for what I would make with it but I can’t come up with anything yet! I’ll stare at it for a while and let inspiration hit. 🙂
I am sure you could find something 🙂
My 15 year old son would probably end with a shirt out of this oddly enough. He loves cats and his favorite shirt is actually galaxy cats 😂.
That is great! I have some dog fabric too that I made for my son. 🙂 He hasn’t asked for the cats, yet.
My granddaughter loves cats so I’d make a shirt for her
Oh I bet she would love that!!
What a sweetie in a sweetie!! The cat material is adorable, I know someone who would love it too! The stuffed cat in the pictures works great for this shoot.
Thanks so much! I am a little partial to her cuteness 🙂 Her stuffed kitty was so much fun. I loved the way she kissed it.
She is adorable. If my granddaughter had a cute cat toy she wouldn’t want to put it down for pictures either!
Thank you!!! It is such a cute toy.
This is so gorgeous on her. I would totally make a hoodie or something for my son – he’s almost 4 and is convinced he’s a cat most days. (I’m laying in my bed and literally just heard him meow downstairs in the play area lol)
Oh my goodness, that is great!! I love his imagination!
This is super cute! I’ve been looking at this pattern for my 2 girls, too. My oldest just started getting into kitties. She pretends she’s a cat for like an hour! She would love this! I’m thinking leggings (they are a staple for us) and raglans with kitties as accent patches on the shoulders.
Thank you! That is too cute. I love the imagination of children. My daughter has leggings too and she loves them.
I’d love to win a yard to make a gift for a friend who loves cats! Your photos are super cute.
I would make boxer shorts for my dad and maybe some socks and undies for Myself!
You could get so much out of a yard!!! 🙂
I love how care free and fun this is!
Thank you!! We like to have fun 🙂
Such a sweet dress, I love it
Thank you!!!
My girls would love this fabric! Maybe leggings or a top.
Look how stinking cute she is!! I love this dress.
