J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS (shhhhh) Baby Dress

Ok, we’re 100% GIANTS fans. I gave a used GIANTS bodysuit to a friend of mine but didn’t realize that her husband is a JETS fan. I guess that’s a big no-no. So I decided to make their baby girl a JETS dress for the summer.

I originally saw this New York JETS fabric at Jo-Ann’s but it was at $12.99 per yard. Then the following week I stopped by and saw at the remnant rack that there was a small piece for 50% off, so I grabbed it. I didn’t know if I would have enough to make anything but I thought I would figure it out somehow. This fabric turns out to be very soft (unlike the GIANTS fabric I got also from the remnant rack), but I didn’t have enough fabric to make a dress! Then I saw New Look 6796.

I thought it would go really cute with some forest/hunter green with white polka dot fabric, but that turned out to be impossible to find. I went through my stash and found a hunter green medium weight cotton (from Joann’s remnant rack, again). Here’s what I came up with:

I’m kind of rushing this since my friend is leaving for a cruise trip in a week. Hopefully this would fit. I wanted R to try on to see if I need to make it bigger for her but she refused to let me put it on (since she’s also a GIANTS fan) until I said “it’s really pretty”… I guess as long as something is pretty, it doesn’t matter even if it’s a JETS dress.
