after yesterdays poor start, i have more than made up for it today, as i had cut out the fabric for this pattern last night, the actual sewing took very little time & if it hadn't have been for the stopping & starting {due to small child requiring attention} i think i could have finished this within a couple of hours
the pattern came from a book called 'homemade' which is a lovely book my sister gave me last year, the biggest problem was enlarging the pattern to the correct size {which i must have done as the fit of the dress is not way off}the instructions in the most were clear & easy to follow, the dress came together really well,
i'm very pleased with the finished dress, i think it also helps that i love this fabric {just picked up from a local C&H fabrics, sorry no idea what it is}it looks like lots of little lollipops to me
the straps & bodice lining is some heather bailey 'nicey jane' i picked up on sale from 'prints to polka dots' which worked really well with the other print, it looks ever so cute on too - i'll have to get a snap of little O wearing it
i would really love to make another one of these tomorrow {& trust me i'm sure there will be more} but i think i'm going to have to make a start on a mermaids tail!
This is completely and utterly lovely. What a great days work. Mrs B x

It's so cute, well done, I think the mermaid costume should be a interesting make.
ReplyDeleteA dress finished already - well done. I still have much to do and it's only day 2!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty! What lovely fabric x
ReplyDeletei love it! and your photography is beautiful against the red wall. i saw that fabric today in john lewis :) it was in a blue colourway and i very nearly bought it but got distracted by the girl and moved on to the toy dept! cracking to start to your challenge and little o will one lucky girl with lots of new frocks lined up. bet it would look nice with a stripey tee underneath too? x
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you have achieved something already, on Day 2. I am beavering way and could well finish today but I have a feeling something else will get in the way. I've seen that fabric in my local shop, it's so pretty, and feels nice too! Love your lollipop dress, and I also love the fact it suits the wall so much (although I'm sure little O won't let it stay there for long!!) x
ReplyDeleteso, so beautiful!!!!
