1. LOTS of ruffles - the more the better
2. vibrant color, especially red
3. pretty flowers
check, check and ... check. Mission accomplished!
- The bloomers were made using Ruffle Fabric in Candy Cane and Dana's Perfect Diaper Cover pattern. Before I sewed any seams, I serged all the cut edges of my Ruffle Fabric. It really helped those wily ruffles stay in place and I didn't have to pin nearly as much.
- I made the top from part of a men's t-shirt, using guidelines from Dana's Summer Vacation Dress pattern (notice a trend here? I may have a favorite blogger).
- The flower on the top and hair clip are made from the same t-shirt. I cut long strips of connected scallops, and hand stitched them together in circular layers.
I'm off to eat copious amounts of churros. Have a great weekend!

That is adorable! I love the combo of the two and those bloomers are awesome. That fabric is a great choice.
It's adorable!
And--haha!--gotta love the orders husbands place. Mine has been after me to make pillow covers and a rug for the front door for a month or so now. :)
What a darling dress. Just lovely.

I love this post, and I think it'll be perfect for when we have our Fiesta in the Spring.
As a side note, I'm not sure if you look at the ads on the top of your blog, but the DuPont one that makes it look like cockroaches are running all over your page creeps me out a bit!
Sarah - thanks for the heads up! Those cockroaches are disgusting, and no, I hadn't seen it, because I use ad blocker. :) I think I removed the right one, so hopefully you won't be creeped out by cockroaches again!
Darling! I wish I had a reason to make one!
Too cute Jill! I love this outfit.
And I'm jealous of the Churro eating you will get to partake in. When my grandmother visited the states from England, we were at Grants Farm where they happen to sell Churros. I was eating one and she had never tried one so she asked if she could have a bite. She fell in love with them instantly. I have always loved Churros, but since my grandmother has since passed away, they now also hold a special memory for me.
Have fun!
I marched in the parade years ago. I drove down to the zoo on Wednesday and then stopped at Paseo Nuevo to do a little shopping. I totally forgot how busy it is. I'll have to remember to do my school shopping earlier. Is there a secret to great parking for the festivities? Love those ruffle bloomers. I have some ruffle fabric I haven't touched yet.
EAT SOME FOR ME, please! cute dress
Oh my goodness, this is so cute! That ruffled diaper cover! Love it!
