Clare....SO CUTE!!!! And I love that material! Aren't you the talent! I used to sew for my children when they were little but haven't for years. I am just now getting back into it.
Thanks for the picture....I love to see what y'all are up to. Great job! Keep going and show us more when you make it.

That is too cute. My daughter who is now 16 yrs. old said I should make her one to wear with leggings. Who knew she would even consider wearing a dress I made her!!
Thanks for sharing.

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start; anyone can start from now
and make a brand new end.

Amy, her pattern was easy to follow with good drawings. However, if you have not sewed before, I would suggest trying out a few patterns before this one. There was one tricky part with attaching the skirt to bodice on back with the placket. Otherwise, the pattern was fine. There was some handsewing in it. The lining is batiste, and it is sewn so the elastic gathered edge is enclosed and all seams are enclosed between the lining and dress.
I gave the jumper pattern to my frined, but she felt intimidated by it. She has been sewing a little less than a year.

That is adorable. I wonder if it comes in big girl sizes - oh, say something over a size 14? :-)

Twins mom said the girls LOVE their dresses. Mom also loves the dresses and said they will be saved forever. She said they look fantastic on. I told her to take phot, email it to me so I can post of them wearing dresses. Wil lwait unti lafter Fourth as she is saving these for a big family party.
Notice two yo-yos come to rescue as decorative accents. I still appreciate those yo-yo swaps.

Clare, I got the tea party sundress. My favorite sewing shop is stocking the patterns, she has 3 other ones too and I have a new granddaughter so I might be buying more. I was warned that it takes a long time to sew because of all the details, what was your experience?
