All she said was that, the party would be done in pink/yellow with a "You are my sunshine" theme!
It's been forever since I've sewn a little girls dress, and it is way different then I remember.
I know that there are a lot of ric-rac fans out there!
Then while laying in bed I was thinking, isn't the theme sunshine? What is the first thing you think of when you hear 'sunshine'? Sunflowers!!
So I got up and cut some peddles out of the yellow dots. Then cut out a yo-yo and found a button in my button jar that matched perfectly!
Then I happened to think, what is the one thing that every child is allowed to do on their first birthday? Have cake...or should I say....have at some cake! So I made her a 'bapron', The pattern is available at Craftiness Is Not Optional!
So there you have it! She's a happy and healthy 1 year old!!

Such a beautiful little girl & dress well done.
She is so cute and so it the bapron.
What a beautiful little party dress for a beautiful little girl! Great idea to make a matching bapron too. Happy First Birthday Charlotte.
And I bet Charlotte has brought a lot of sunshine into your life too! Sweet dress for a sweet little girl!
What a sweet little dress. Love the large ric rac and the flower.
Happy Birthday Charlotte!!! It is a beautiful dress, full of sunshine and love! xx
Lovely dress for your grand daughters first birthday. My first grandson is one next week and it's been a fabulous year, let's hope they remain healthy and happy for lots more years to come.
How exciting to see Charlotte up and walking! The dress is simply sweet and the addition of the sunflower was a fabulous idea. Good thinking, to make that matching bapron. Saved the pretty dress!
What a sweet dress and a joy to make I am sure. I also dealt with a premature granddaughter and those 10 weeks of NICU were heartbreaking, but she is a 4-yr old bundle of joy and challenge all rolled up in one. It certainly makes the milestones that much better. Enjoy to the fullest.
Your little Sunshine looks so cute in that dress. Beautiful job, Vicki! Love the bapron....a girl has to have her cake and not worry about the mess. Happy 1st birthday, full of happiness and good health!
At first I thought nothing could be cuter than that little dress. THEN the pic with her wearing it - melt my heart! I bet she brings sunshine to your family, what a sweetie!!
Oh my! She is so beautiful! Thankful for the day! Adorable outfit too! xo jan
How adorable does your wee Charlotte look in her adorable sunshine dress...'tis gorgeous. Your sunflower is the 'icing' on the pretty dress! I am supposing that this dress is the first of many stitched by you, Miss Vicki!
That's what I call "made with love". Charlotte is adorable and your birthday dress is very special. I especially love the sunflower.
Smart thinking on the apron! She gets to eat her cake and not wear it all day too. Clever and super cute.
I've never heard of a "bapron"! I have to make a skirt for my 7 y o niece on her birthday this Oct 14. So maybe my next Monday post will be a girly dress too! Thanks for the inspiration.
Cute bapron!! She looks like she liked the cake too. I remember my daughter spitting it out on her first birthday. =D
