Farmers Market Dresses

Finally: a finished project! Two little pillowcase dresses made from a thrifted bedsheet for my two sweet girls. I actually used a pattern, but this tutorial pretty much sums up the project, and it's easy as can be and super cute (the only difference is that I used ribbon instead of elastic at the top).

It's so nice to have a Friday morning farmer's market in the area: our local farmers market is amazing, but super busy on Saturday morning, and Friday morning feels like just the right time to go down and find some treats.

Of course I have two helpers that guide me in my selection process.

And help carry the loot.
Somehow, the bakery stand seems to be a favorite. Strawberry rhubarb pie, anyone?

And this little Lily has a way of finding every single sample basket. I think I caught her taking two!


I must say, a little effort goes a long way with these girls of mine: whenever I make them anything, they treasure it, no matter how elementary my endeavor. A squeal of delight upon waking up to a newly sewn dress is just the encouragement I need.
