I bought this Alexander Henry fabric back in September from Sew, Mama, Sew with the intention of making Katie a dress for Halloween. We have a few annual events that don’t require costumes and I had seen this outfit on etsy and was inspired. A little more than a week before Halloween and hmm, no dress yet. Determined, I plugged away on Wednesday while the kids were at preschool and about four hours later a Halloween dress — really an underdress and an overdress — was realized. Now I just need to get to the costumes.

you are so committed to this sewing clothes thing– between this and the knitting you’ve got me spinning.
This is so sweet. That Alexander Henry print is darling!!
I really loved this dress when I saw it in the pattern book but didn’t even think about it in a simple cotton! What a cute cute cute cute cute cute dress! It’s very much inspired me! I can see this in Christmas cottons!
I love that orange polka dot fabric. katie is such a cutie.
Great job on this project. She looks adorable and I love the colorful pumpkin fabric.
So cute!
How adorable! What a lucky little girl!
That is soooo cute. I would love to do something like that in 4 hours!! I’m scared to even start a pot holder I have cut out!! Lovely, and Katie too!
How delightful this dress idea is! Oh, I wish I’d seen this sooner and then I could have made something for myself for tomorrow (the BIG day) — I work at my son’s school and he begged me NOT to dress up (most adults here do) but this would have been a nice compromise! Maybe next year….
