I was so excited when Dana of @made_everyday asked me to be part of her Blush fabric tour. I knew I would make something for my daughter, and I let her pick what fabric she liked best. The Cat Nap Pink was her first choice of course, pink + cats= no brainer. I decided to go with the knit option and pictured an easy dress.
Art Gallery Fabric knits are soooo soft. When I was cutting out this dress, I seriously just wanted to wrap myself up in this fabric. I went with the Millie Dress Pattern by Mix It Make It. My daughter only requests to wear dresses lately so I thought this would be a great addition to her wardrobe for preschool and church. I’ve made this dress once before. It’s a free pattern but unfortunately it’s not currently available. There’s word it will be relaunched soon, so keep your eye out! For reference, I made the size 4 and added 3 1/2″ in length to the skirt.
We both love this dress so so much. My daughter has plans to wear it as many days in a row that she can get away with. She even woke up super late at night after I finished it to take a peek. Ahhh, I love making things for her.
Check out all of the other fun prints that are also part of the Blush collection below!
I also included this video I found of Dana explaining the inspiration behind her new collection, check it out! Thanks for having me on the tour Dana!
I better not show this post to my 5 year old…or she will want a cat dress too 🙂 🙂 Ahhhh. Love this Sara! You paired the perfect pattern with that fabric. Thank you for being part of the fun and for sharing here, and for adding that video at the bottom. Brilliant! 🙂 – Dana

Hi Dana,
I am a beginner sewer who didn’t have any experience at all in sewing and love to create this beautiful dress for my two daughters. I’m always inspired by your work on YouTube. May I ask if you have a pattern that I can print for this dress?
Thank you
