Candy Corn Dress

Posted on October 16, 2013 by Pillows A-La-Mode

I had some bits of orange and yellow jersey, so I stitched them into a ruffled skirt, added color-coordinated ric-rac, and attached it to a new white baby t-shirt for a cutie in our family! The a-la-mode is a strip of “treat” fabric from last year’s Halloween pillows twisted, coiled, and stitched into a flower and centered with an orange button. Happy candy corn season! ♥

  All my photos of the hair clip were a little fuzzy, so I just decided to ignore it. But it was fun to make and I’m glad you like it! 🙂

This is awesome! My daughter would love this (in pinks of course). How did you sew the orange jersey on? With a zig zag or straight stitch?

  I just used a straight stitch, and that seemed to work. 🙂
