I have already shown off the Christmas shorts so thought it was time to show off the Christmas dress too.
I used the Make it Perfect Pinny #1 pattern. I prefer this over the Pinny #2 pattern, but only just.
As usual I found this pattern quick and easy to follow and I will be making many more of these sweet dresses.
I put buttons on the straps intead of a tie. Easier for the Mr to navigate and a touch neater in finish (I think).
While this is a Chritmas dress, I stayed away from trees and stars so we could use it all Summer. All these cottons are from the Spotlight Christmas coordinates range which still makes it festive enough.
I did make a slight cutting error making tier one and inch short which was easily fixed by making tier two an inch longer. Silly mistake which matters not a jot in the finished result.
Ooooh thats gorgeous - perfect for christmas without being too christmassy!
ReplyDeleteThis is really sweet Becky - loe the colours.
