Little Geraniums

 ...four little geraniums all in a row...

Continuing on my mission this week of using my stash of polka dot quilting fabrics, I decided to sew 4 little geranium dresses, a free pattern just released last week. The sewing pattern is size 0-3 months and it calls for a skirt width of 44 inches, but I only used 34-37 inches for these dresses.

I'm liking this (new to me) color combo of red with light blue and gray...

1st dress: bodice: gray with white polka dots, Michael Miller Ta Dot, skirt: blue with white polka dots quilting cotton from JoAnn's, pockets: red with tiny white hexagons, Karen Snyder - Studio Anna Lena for Timeless Treasures Fabrics
 2nd dress: bodice: gray with white polka dots, Michael Miller Ta Dot, skirt: red with tiny white hexagons, Karen Snyder - Studio Anna Lena for Timeless Treasures Fabrics, pockets: blue with white polka dots quilting cotton from JoAnn's
 3rd dress: bodice and pockets: yellow with tiny white raindrops, Hoodie's Collection "Raindrops" for Timeless Treasures Fabrics, skirt: mustard yellow cotton
 4th dress: vintage cotton which is polka dotted polka dots !
To get an idea of how small these dresses are, that's my daughter's 18 inch doll dress form, so these are just a little bit bigger than doll dresses.

These were made for and will be donated to Dress A Girl Around the World because teeny tiny baby girls need dresses, too :)

Make it a great day !
