McCalls 6512

I didn't end up sewing myself any dresses like I had planned now that we are just days away from Jane (!!!), I decided to wait and make dresses that fit me without the Jane belly. But I sure had fun getting back into pattern sewing for Jane. Two versions of McCalls 6512. This dress has a wrap top with so many ways to finish the bottom skirt.


corduroy with bottom ruffle version


simple red cotton version



There will be more many more! I made these two in the small size which is supposed to be 13-18 pounds. I was hoping the red cotton one would shrink in the wash so as Jane could wear it a bit sooner but I don't think it did at all. So I am trying my hardest to not make any more versions until we see if Jane is a chunk or a skinny minny. I would hate to make her the jean version that won't fit until next summer. but oh I can't wait to make that one! or the brown butterfly one! or the mix matched yellow one! or the cute little diaper covers to match!
