Sundress

I seem to be in a clothes sewing frenzy!  I am not satisfied without a new creation for the day and I have to make one, or three, of everthing.  I am going through a lot of needles on my sewing maching but Possum is happy to have so many new outfits.




This time it is the Oliver + S Popover Sundress.  So quick, easy, and FREE.
Go and download it right now if you don't already have it!

I didn't bother with the adding a matching fabric for the yoke and straps. I didn't have anything suitable at home so just used the one fabric. I also made it in a size 3 when Possum is only just a size 2 but with the straps done up tighter it still looks good so she will get more use out of it.





We went to a small craft expo on the weekend and I had three ladies comment on this dress and compliment me so that makes me very happy!  We even had our photo taken for the local paper :)

The fabric is more Spotlight cotton (West 22nd CX3860 FLORAL DELIGHT) I bought on sale, I still have enough left for another 2 dresses.

  3. Possum looks so cute! I love that dress pattern and I have told a few people at creche where to get it when they see Maya in hers. Little girls just can't have enough sweet dresses!

  7. Great job Becky. And while of course we don't make things to get noticed, it sure does feel good when you get random compliments!
