Coat of Many Colors Wrap Dress

On my first mother's day after my daughter was born, my husband played this song for me.

I think whether we are sewing out of necessity or as a hobby we are always sewing with love for our children. I hope my daughter also feels this rich whenever she wears something handmade.

When I was thinking of a name for this dress I made with Moda Fabrics, this song kept coming back to me.

So Coat of Many Colors Dress it would be, despite it not making any sense in my head. Some things just make sense in the heart and sometimes that is enough.

Here is to a rich handmade Life!

Lucky Layers Tiered Dress

I made this dress with Kate Spain's Good Fortune Collection. I spent a lot of time figuring out the right combinations, because all the colors and prints in this collection are so delicious. Finally, I gave up trying and thought I will just figure out as I go...or I would never complete this dress.

I should have saved my breath..Kate has already done such a great job of selecting colors and patterns for this line that whatever you select you always have a winner. You may ( or may not ) remember this layered skirt I made earlier with the same collection.

The dress looks great on my toddler. It has great twirl factor, even though my monkey doesn't yet know what to do with it.

I'm working on the tutorial now...in case you were wondering.
