30 Days of Sundresses & Graduation Day

My little girl just graduated from Preschool.  (sniff sniff)  The kids were asked to wear their class color... Red Fish in our case.  But when I looked at my daughter's wardrobe I found pink, orange, teal, even yellow... but NO red.  I knew I could just buy a red t-shirt, but where's the fun in that.  Plus, every girl could use another sundress.

As a beginner, I am just getting over my fear of patterns.  I have found online tutorials less intimidating.  But seriously, its time to face my fear.  This is Butterick's See & Sew 3889.

Isn't this fabric lovely.  There is something about it that reminds me of a muumuu I had as a little girl while living in Hawaii.

It's a simple design, which I like.  I like kids clothes to be simple and practical.  This leaves plenty of room to move and dance and play... all of which are a necessity in our life.

And a few shots of that graduation day (and proof that she can move).  They had a picnic in the courtyard after the ceremony, which really meant the parents ate and the kids went wild.
