and the dress…

goldenrod

Pattern: Simplicity 2461 This was my first time using a printable pattern and I was far from thrilled with the process.  I rather regret ordering several when they were on sale for a couple of bucks a piece (it seemed like such a deal!).

Fabric: A remnant rack find.  Oh, I do love me a well stocked remnant rack.  This print seriously reminds me of something from my childhood.  A sheet I think.  Something tells me that it may have been a baby sheet specifically. (Mom?)

Modifications: I changed the length.  The pattern hits around knee level, I made it so that it went down to her ankles.

This is the dress that I made her to wear under the little knitted pinafore that I knew wouldn’t fit.  Which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but I rarely make a whole lot of sense.

Complete with a little bit of loop-y lace trim, to go with the lace trim on the pinafore.

If I come across some fabric that will coordinate with it in my stash, I might just make her one of the sewn pinafores from the pattern.

leaf

Iain tucked that leaf into her hair and proclaimed her the Autumn Princess.

Moving day is Thursday, so I think I’m going to take a few days off.  I’ll see you all on the other side.  Enjoy the rest of your week!
