Farm Dress

My niece is having her first birthday soon.  Since she's growing up on the farm, I wanted to make a farm inspired gift.  Her daddy (my brother) doesn't have any livestock - but I still thought this was adorable.  Hopefully the cuteness factor will outweigh the fact that the applique pieces are disproportionate. 

The dress is made from a man's shirt that I bought at Good Will.  My girls liked green - saying it was like the green pasture for the animals.  My mom took some measurements of "Baby C" because I was working from a 2T pattern.  After all the sewing I've done for my girls, this was like sewing doll clothes.
