dresses I made

I wanted to share some things that I made for my oldest daughter.

Here is a twirly dress I made. I made the skirt portion and the top part is a shirt that I got at Target:

And here are 2 jumpers that I made her to wear over a shirt:

sister! They are gorgeous!!!

You are talented!!!

Love,

Maria

for sharing! Sewing...that takes talent . How long does it take to make dresses?

Look forward to seeing more

As Salamu Alaikum

the dresses are lovely.

Jazaki Allah Khairan for sharing them with us.

If I'm able to sit down and work on it, it doesn't take me too long, maybe 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I never timed it before. But, if I keep getting interupted...it can take much longer...

Assalamou aleikoum warahamatoullah wabarakatou

oh they are so nice Mashallah.

Do you sew by hand or with machine ? because I would love to know how to sew but I am useless at both (but I really need it ) and do you make you own patterns ?

I am afraid my dear sister, that you will have more questions to answer...



Love

Khadija

I use a machine. It's a simple, no frills type. And, I used a pattern for 2 of those, the twirly dress, it was so easy, and the green paisley jumper I used a pattern. But for the yellow one I traced (with chalk on the wrong side of the fabric) a pattern off of the green one and just made it a little shorter. It was easier than using the pattern for some reason.
It's really not that difficult. Just takes some patience and time.

I love them! MashaAllah!! You did a fantastic job!!! MashaAllah!

MashaAllah very fresh and pretty - you must have enjoyed making them So what did you make for your oldest daughter's sibling/siblings ?

Masha Allah, they are pretty and you are talented

As salam alaikum

Thank you for the kind words sisters.

Yes, sister Aisha I did enjoy making them. I haven't sewed anything for my youngest yet. I have a hard time since the clothes would be so small.

Well for a baby you could have the buttons all the way down the back or the front so that you could open it completely. I posted a pic here in the handicrafts forum of a pinafore dress which i made for my daughter when she was approx 5 months old which buttons down the front.
