We had a little photo shoot on the way home from church so you can see the Garden Party Dress in action. Nothing like the backdrop of Mt. Cheam and a gorgeous spring day for a good photo!
I made a size 6 with a size 8 length and it fits with room to spare. She is very slim and actually measured slightly less than the size 5 measurements.
Fabric is from Fabricland. It was actually $1.50 per metre bought this past fall on a sale. The coordinating fabric was from a fat quarter bought at Hamels but I only used a small part of it. So the fabric for this dress was only $4!
The pattern was easy to follow.
This week these two are going to be 5 and 7 years old. Good thing I have Joshua!
I enjoyed sewing through Kids Clothes Week but this week I have to get back to some other stuff. Have a good week!

The dress is gorgeous! (and what a fabulous backdrop for pictures) I hadn't picked up any of the new O+S patterns but am very tempted to get the Garden Party now.;)
ReplyDeleteThat grass…. I miss green BC! The dress looks nice too. :)
