Springtime Stawberries

I am so ready for the cold weather to be gone and for spring to be here already, so I picked up this really cute fabric while I was out shopping to make a dress for Little Miss Bean. I knew I wanted to make a dress I just wasn't sure what pattern I was going to use, until I saw a cute little dress that someone had made on Craftster from a 1960's pattern. Well she posted the measurements for the one that she made which was a 3T size, so I got out my pencil and paper and figured out the measurements for a 6 month size and drew up my pattern. I changed a few things from the original like scooping the neck, making the buttons come in from the back and top stitching all the way around so it comes out of the wash better.It turned out more like a top than a dress but I think I am going to make her a diaper cover to go with it. And since I still have enough fabric I will probably make a summertime strawberry top in a bigger size!
