Sew-Pretty T-Shirt Dress

I recently had some fun putting together the Ship-shape dress from the Sew Pretty T-Shirt Dresses book from Sixth & Spring Books.  The result is something really cute and casual that will get a lot of use through the coming months.  And of course, I love that I was able to sew it from start to finish during naptime!  

Today is the last day of the Sew Pretty T-Shirt Dresses book giveaway.
