Janey Jumper Pattern Review and Super Late Easter Post!

 

O.K., so I am super late with this post.  Better late than never right? 

(See the bottom of this post for a link to the Sock Bunnies tutorial.)

 

I used the Janey Jumper pattern by Lindsay of the Cottage Momma to make some Easter dresses for my girls.  I really love how they turned out. 

First of all, the Janey Jumper is not a PDF pattern.  It is an actual paper pattern that is mailed to you.  I loved not having to print out and piece together my pattern before starting.

There are lots of very clear step by step instructions with photos.  Best of all, Lindsay is super sweet and when I got stuck on the final step, I e-mailed her and she got back to me quickly!  Fortunately, I had already figured it out.  I would highly recommend this pattern to the intermediate sewer.  This dress is completely lined (which I love!) however, due to this it may be a little tricky for the novice sewer.

 

My favorite part of this dress is the beautiful scallops.  Lindsay gives a really genius way of making these turn out perfect.

 

Best of all, my girls loved them and they looked super cute for Easter.

 

On your mark…

 

Get set…

 

GO!!!

 

 

I also made a smaller version of this dress for my friend’s daughter to wear on her birthday.  Isn’t she cute?!!!

 

Happy Sewing!

P.S. I did a freezer paper stencil on the lining just in case the girls ever wanted to wear it reversed.

 

P.P.S.  I almost forgot to tell you about the sock bunnies.  They are from a very clever tutorial by Ashley over at Lil Blue Boo.
