Cozy dress.

It's that time of year again, Kids Clothes Week.  While I try most weeks to knock a few things out, I usually push myself this week to make at least one thing for each kid.  


So I started off easy, well, somewhat easy.  Ottobres are always a beast to trace.  I made #13 from the 4/2015 magazine in a cozy, soft french terry. I made size 104cm, which as far as I can tell translates pretty well to a 5t, that's the size I have started to buy for them (if I buy) from RTW.


It was a really easy sew, and she absolutely loves it.  Again, the part that took the longest and most thought was tracing off the pattern.


Pockets were a major plus in her book.  I used the wrong side of the FT for the pockets, cuffs and neckband.  The fit is a little big on her, but since she and Elizabeth still fight over clothes I made it big enough for Iz, too.


Now I have the internal debate, make another because I love it that much, or move on to another pattern as I have so.many.patterns.?

  2. What an awesome dress! I love that you used the wrong side of the fabric for the details! I like to make two of the same pattern because so much work is in the pattern prep that it seems really nice to get two garments out of one prep!
