sew and tell Saturday: hoodie dresses, a couple of quilt blocks

I made a couple of dresses for my girl this past week. The toile print one, above, was my rough draft. The pattern I wanted to use doesn't go as small as I needed, so I cobbled a pattern together using 3 patterns (and one existing hoodie shirt) that were her size. I made up this quick version just to check fit and make sure the hood fit on her head right. I ended up taking in the sleeve and side seams enough that I might be able to use this pattern again next year; we'll see how big she is then.

Here's the fancier version:

I lined the hood, added a kangaroo pocket, and topstitched the sleeves and neckline for this one. I like it! I think they both would look cute with leggings; maybe I'll work on that next week.

I also got my first two blocks done for the quiltalong:

I think I'll make a couple more tonight!
