I'm so excited for Spring! After January I am always ready for the cold to be over. Around here the all of the trees are in bloom. It makes me feel like sewing tons of sweet cotton sundresses! I have been really enjoying re-using the Oliver + S patterns I received last Spring. They were some of the first sewing patterns I ever worked with and learned so much about sewing from them.
What a sweet little face! I can't believe how much Sophie has grown from the first time I made this dress!
This dress is made from the
Seashore Sundress pattern. I made it in a 3T for Sophie, she is tall enough for a size 4 or 5, but the rest of her measurements put her in a 3T. I have seen a few other versions of this dress that seemed longer, but I really like where the length hits on Sophie.
The fabric is by Sandi Henderson, Farmer's Market "Apple Dot"in pink. I have liked this fabric for a while, but haven't been able to track it down. I was so lucky to find a 2 yards that someone had returned to my local fabric shop! It's such happy fabric! Sophie loves her new "apple dress".
Do you have any favorite sewing patterns you've been saving for Spring?
I like the style with the gathering at the back. Being pinafore (jumper) style, you'll be able to layer it for cooler days. A practical and good looking dress. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteadorable apple dress ~ love that fabric :)
ReplyDeleteLovely girl with a lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteI love the little gathers..that's so sweet on her! I'm addicted to making little Camp Shirts, by Fishsticks Designs. It's such a simple pattern, and you know how few really cute boys patterns are out there, compared to the countless precious designs for little girls. I'm on my fifth one...I may need intervention...
