Mo Shawties

More and more shorts...  these two pairs are both made from the Simplicity 4203 pattern, but with some modifications.

The plaid pair has pockets sewn on each side (I used the flap pockets from the Colette Negroni pattern), and the striped pair has a button tab on the side of each leg as an accent.

Flowery Prairie Dress

Another day, another dress for Miss Zoe...

This one is made using Simplicity 4203, view B, a little prairie dress.  Made from some flowered fabric from Joann's (Keepsake Calico, Flowers Tossed) and some navy bias tape treated like a ribbon trim (in lieu of rickrack).  Came out pretty cute, I think!

I think if I were to make this pattern again I might leave off the back ties... they're not really functional and honestly, they don't add much in the way of decoration either, with all the ribbon, etc.  Otherwise, quite easy to put together!
