sewing: polka dots


First, a few things about me and sewing: I  love to sew but I don't use patterns. Most of my fabric comes from my mom's stash or remnant sections of fabric stores. Second, I hate going to fabric stores, probably because fabric stores and 4 kids don't mesh.The trouble is, I rarely shop with something in mind so I like to have fabric on hand and then decide what to use it for later. Anyway, this knit polka dot fabric is really cute
and fun to work with. I can't remember where i got it but I used it all up. First I made this dolman top for myself a few months ago.

Then yesterday I had the itch to recreate the dress i made for Hazel a couple weeks ago because she wears it all the time and it's so darn cute. This time I made it a little bigger and added a ruffled collar. 
I made Eleanor some pants.


And bows with the remaining scraps.
The fabric is gone with a capital G. 
Do you love polka dots as much as I do?

You are so talented! I can't believe all the stuff you come up with! And all without a pattern. Amazing.
