Pride and Prejudice.

I've been quiet for a long while now cyber world but I have not been so quiet at home with sewing. I have made new pyjama tops for the boys, created an entry for the Canberra Show and for the Sydney Royal show, sewn curtains for the schools quiet room none of which I have had the time to show you. All of this has been happening as I organise starting to work again and researching a holiday. I don't know if I will get up to catching you up on all of those projects but the following will be a first for me.

I have been designing again but this time I plan to turn it into a pattern for my etsy store. I am almost finished, I just need to upload my pattern pieces and discover how to pdf. Fingers crossed. But in the meantime here is a sneak peek...

The first time I tried to make it for my 4 year old it ended up as the perfect fit for my 8 year old niece, now however it works a bit better for 4 year olds as well :-).


Very puffy, soft, pretty top.

It has elastic at the back neckline to help it hold in place and the waist has a ribbon that pulls it in to fit.

Today was this new dresses first outing. She took her puggle (her baby echidna toy) to the preschool Teddy bears picnic. She felt beautiful as she told me many times which I think is the sign of a good dress :-)


Hope to be back sooner next time.
