I'm sewing matching outfits for my daughter and her friend.
My daughter is getting very used to modeling for me. :)
I've found that props help a ton.
See the little shorts peeking out beneath?
I opted for those rather than bloomers.
The shorts pattern is Butterick B4966, in size one.
The dress pattern is my own, enlarged just a little bit.
So even though summer is still a long way off, we'll be ready (and waiting) for it to arrive.

Very cute! I make a similar dress for my daughter. I love the colors that you chose.
Sweet! So simple and without any fuss, this is just a real girly summer dress that they will hopefully love to wear all summer!
So cute! I like the green shorts.
So Cute! I love the contrasting colors!!! Your daughter is adorable!
Just precious! I sure hope to get some granddaughters some day!
.....very cute!
the shorts underneath are perfect--once the girls grow taller, they'll still be able to wear the dress (as a shirt) and have shorts to match! :)
Cute outfit and Adorable daughter:)

Your daughter is just too cute in the outfit.

I am thinking on using clothes I have and like as the patterns.

That's funny that you'd post this today. I just finished making a dress for my baby inspired by your patchwork dress. I will be posting pictures of it soon; may I link your tutorial?

She is so sweet! And looks very happy helping mum modeling the lovely dress!
this is such a cute dress. Your daughter looks adorable
I have to be un-original and echo everyone else - your little model is so adorable!! Love the outfit.
Officially the cutest idea ever. I would have been over the moon when I was little to have matching outfits with my best friend. And your daughter looks so sweet. I hope we get to see the two of them model as a pair.
Oh my gosh, that puppy is so cute! LOL!
Just kidding. You know, I had to go back a second time to look at the clothing, because the model is just so adorable.
Summer is a while off, but making clothing like this sure helps beat the cold winters!
this is such an adorable dress! It's too bad it probably wouldn't look good on me in a grown up size...this looks like such a comfy and perfect sundress.
Such a sweet outfit. Thank you for sharing the tutorial on it. I really hope to make some for my baby girl using it.
She is darling! As is the outfit.
So cute! Love the shape of that little dress.

Very sweet and a terrific idea to have matching outfits for friends.
I have just had the most enjoyable time viewing and reading your blog. I am beginning my first ever patchwork quilt and am very apprehensive. Was inspired by my mother who began it recently as well. Your blog is just truly amazing. I do love the dress you made here, the colours are gorgeous. Will look forward to viewing more of your wonderful quilts.
The dress is adorable and so is your daughter! I love the little shorts to go under. I'll have to make a few of these for my nieces!
She is very cute! Love this set.
ahhh! your daughter is PRECIOUS!
and matching outfits. SO cute!
I love that you choose shorts and that you made your daughter a matching outfit. Why not?
i love this! so cute...i think my little one will need at least one of those for this summer :)
SO adorable! I have a new great-niece so am looking forward to sewing things like this when she grows a little bigger. She is only 2 months old at present.
Thanks for sharing!

Your daughter and her friend will be the best dressed girls on the block!
Absolutely Darling! Your daughter, of course! Outfit is adorable and great color combination!
