YEAH! I am so excited to introduce Jessica today from Craftiness Is Not Optional!!! I was introduced to her when Project Run & Play first came on the spot, and have been in love ever since. She has the absolute cutest designs for little girl’s clothing, that I am always so excited to see what she posts every day! Always something new, always something completely adorable, and did I mention her eye for fabrics?! I am also always jealous!!! Lol
It was hard to choose just 4 to showcase…

If you haven’t checked her out yet, you really should! She hosts these incredible Sew-a-longs, perfect for the beginner sewer! Is always doing something fun and exciting, participating in or hosting a Series, and takes incredible photos to boot!
I simply cannot say enough about this wonderful lady with the wonderful name :).
Needless to say, I was super excited when I received her post to see what she came up with for our Pattern Remix Series, shall we???
- 3 different fabrics (how much depends on how many layers and what size top you’re making. I used scraps mostly, totaled probably 1/2 yd)
- Thread
- Button (hedgehog preferably…hehe just kidding)
- child’s chest measurement
Have I lost you yet? I think I lost myself. That’s why I should not try and explain anything math/ratio related.

Thank you again so much for being here Jess! That dress is so adorable, and I am absolutely in love with the button! I love it when I find something that cute that something simply has to be showcased around it. But it still cannot hold a candle to those baby cheeks :).
Hope to see everyone back here next week for more Pattern Remix! Til then, Happy Sewing!!!
That’s adorable, Jessica. And I love the colour combination, so summer-y!
Lovely girl and lovely dress too. Thanks for the tutorial
O it looks very cute. I always like Jess her very pretty models.
Love that! The colors/fabrics are so nice together and that button is too cute!
Awesomeness, as always! I linked to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

Cute as always Jess.
thanks everybody! 😀
I loved how you did the back closure. So easy, but it looks so good.
I love you dress, I just wish I had the time. I have been working on my projects like making donuts from clay an painting it brown, white or pink for icing an sprinkles on top. Or I crochet an or knit. I have to go back to sewing, when I get my sewing machine on Christmas
