I finished up this little Halloween dress yesterday just in time for us to go outside a take a few pictures before the sun went down.

This little peasant dress turned out so cute!  

I’d bought the purple fabric last year to make her a dress, but never got around to it, so I wanted to be sure to finish the dress early this year.  (I also made it a little big so she will be able to wear it next year and maybe the year after too.)  

The purple fabric came from  Hancock Fabrics (now out of business) but the coordinating fabrics came from a Riley Blake fat quarter set I bought last month. 

This particular fat quarter set is almost impossible to find anymore, but Craftsy and Fabric.com have a huge selection of reasonably priced fat quarter sets to browse through.

If you would like to make a similar dress, you can use my free peasant dress pattern, found here: peasant dress pattern.

I shirred the sleeve edges instead of inserting elastic.  (I love the way the shirring makes the sleeve edge ruffle up.)

I used the tutorial from TaDa! Creations to add the ruffle and bottom band.

I debated on whether to use the green polka dot fabric as the bottom band or an orange polka dot.  In the end, I went with the green since I already had the coordinating ribbon in my stash.  Plus, (you can’t really see it in the photos) the cat eyes on the purple fabric are the same color green.

Photo bomb…  Had to include this one too!

Next on my list are some Halloween-themed shorts for my son, and I have one other project in mind for the fat quarter set.  It’s a surprise, hopefully, I will get it finished soon to show off for you later this week!
