Spring's Daffodil Dress

My sewing machine has caught spring fever!  I've been on a mission to make spring dresses lately & have been loving it.  This little number is just right for Easter and the flowers coming into bloom: Spring's Daffodil Dress.

The dress is sleeveless white cotton & fully lined, but what takes it from simple to stylish is this overlay of tulle embroidered with ribbon for the skirt:

The minute I saw this fabric I knew it would be perfect for some cute clothing.  The delicate tulle has white & yellow ribbon stitched all over it.  It makes things fancy, but not over the top.  I also added a few layers of plain tulle underneath to add a little "poof".

I stitched on silky yellow ribbon at the waist and finished it at the back with silk daffodils.  Each daffodil has a hand stitched bead at center for a more realistic look.

And I finally got around to making a little something for myself too, so now we'll both be ready for spring!  I used the book, Built By Wendy Dresses to make this little number.  It's actually two separate one-sided dresses, but worn together, give a layered look:

I used coordinating prints from Timeless Treasures new organic Suzi-Q collection.  I love how sunny & happy the designs are and I think the contrast of the tiny & large prints really works with this style:

Now these girls are ready roll out in the spring sunshine!
