It's officially summer and its really starting to heat up outdoors. Ella has pretty much outgrown all of her dresses from last summer so I've been sewing up a few new pieces to add to her wardrobe. This blue and white striped t-shirt dress is a summer wardrobe staple. I love the fresh new look of the broken spray painted lines of this nautical stripe fabric.It's officially summer and its really starting to heat up outdoors.

To make the pattern for this dress, I just traced one of Ella's t-shirts onto a sheet of paper and elongated the side seams to make it knee length. That's it. I'd be happy to share my pattern once I make a few tweaks to the neckline --- I had a hard time getting the dress over Ella's head. I guess her legs weren't the only thing that grew since last summer. Ha!
