Happy Fourth Blogger Friends...


A few days late, but I couldn't help but post this All American adorable pic of our 4th fun to show a collection of bandana dresses/shirts/outfits as featured as a tutorial last year.
As a collection, it's so stinking cute.
Anyway, it makes me smile.  I hope it makes you smile as well.

Bandana Dresses Part 2

Another spin on these adorable bandanna dresses. These straps are a little different. For example, these straps are sewn to the front and tied in the back.
Front
I love this version because you can tie a big fancy bow in the back.
Back
I added a little bit of fancy embellishment to the front. I would like to give you the impression that I have such neat ideas and that I thought to just add this to make it look that much cuter, but what really happened was I hate reading directions and so I didn't and messed up my stitching when I sewed the ribbon to the front. I didn't make a fancy Z pattern as suggested in the directions. Nope, I just sewed crazy lines back and forth and back and forth and it looked hideous. So, I ran to my favorite store Hobby Lobby and purchased this life saving rose ribbon. Sewed it right on and voila, covered up my very ugly zig zag pattern that I'm infamous for. Turns out, I love this added feature and purchased more to added to all my other ones I plan to make in the future.
I couldn't resist making this red one with zebra ribbon. Isn't animal print so fabulous.

Bandana Dress

Check out this totally cute bandana dress.
And believe it or not, it's super easy to make.
I'll give you a quick run down of how
to make one.

First, your going to take two bandanas
and about 2 1/2 - 3 yards of ribbon.
With the right side facing down, fold down and sew.
How wide this seam is, is going to be determined
by how wide your ribbon is.
Just eyeball it, it doesn't need to be exact.
This will be the top of the dress.
After you do that on both bandanas,
You will put the right sides together,
measure about 6 inches from the top
and sew the rest of the way down.
(This is for the arm holes)
Turn the dress inside out and
run the ribbon through the top
in the front and back, scrunch the fabric
together and tie the bows on each side.

Too cute? Now go make one!
