I haven't been sewing lately because, well, the kids don't need any clothes at the moment! If I was smart I would probably start on spring sewing as our weather starts to warm in March. This is kind of spring-ish, I suppose.
The Oliver + s Ice Cream Dress, size 2T with length. I have made this pattern quite a few times, but it has been quite a while. I always get nervous when it comes to attaching the back yoke so I tend to shy away from this one.
Not too bad this time though, in my opinion. Though the corner by the button could be better, someday I will make it perfect:)
Girlfriend hearts the pockets. She has spent all day putting toys in them.
I originally planned to use the stripes for the yoke and hem band with the flower as the body of the dress, but then I thought it would be a fun subtle detail to alternate the stripes.
I have another custom order from a friend who is heading on a Disney Cruise, I am quite excited about what she picked! Plus, this way I can get a little sewing in while not creating more unneeded laundry for me, ha!
Yup, agree totally - never too cold for Ice Cream. Love the fabrics you've used on this one Brittney.
ReplyDeleteAnd lovely to see you sewing - I've missed you!
Aw, thanks Justine, I've missed you too xx
DeleteStripes? Yellow? Ice Cream Dress? So many of my favorite things in one dress!!
ReplyDeleteRight?! ;)
DeleteI love the way you have used the stripes. I was just thinking how cute this was and then scrolled down to see the print on the inside hem. How perfect is that?! Double cute in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI am just going for it and making a couple of summer dresses for the girls. I am so sick of seeing them in their current clothes, I need a change on their behalf!
Thanks Katy! I am glad I'm not the only one, ha!
DeleteI am with you, nothing is nicer then sewing pretty dresses.

I am just glad they don't have an opinion on dresses/pants yet!
DeleteThere isn't a thing wrong with adding another pretty dress to a little girl's closet.
ReplyDeleteNever ever;)
DeleteGlad to *see* you back at the sewing! The Ice Cream dress is gorgeous. I love the alternating stripes!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy! It's good to be back;)
DeleteLove how you've used the two fabrics and I love the colour. She's such a gorgeous thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peta! I think we will keep her.
