This new dress pattern comes together quickly and I love the casual, feminine print on the fabric, paired with the satin and shimmer on the brooch. I've been keeping the fabric for a while now; it's a Basic Grey design. The print first captured my attention as scrapbook paper.
See here? Before Gracie was even born, I created this scrapbook page so that it would be ready for her newborn picture when she arrived. Love that pretty blue paper! And I love the mess of Basic Grey papers and tags from the "Blush" line.
The fabric line is also "Blush" and this print is "Admire" in Charmed by Basic Grey for Moda. Which fabric from your stash has been calling you? I'm working on a little number with a different turqouise fabric this week, paired with some purple. I hope it turns out lovely so that I can share it with you soon!
Olivia loves her new dress. Sweet girl, she knew I was sewing her something and the next morning she woke up and said she wanted to wear it to school, sight unseen. Now that's some trust in your mama! It was really cute over her "jeggings"; I can't wait to see her wear it without long sleeves and pants or tights.
I have a little more work to do on this brooch. (Don't you love the little vintage pin on there? I picked that up at my favorite antique shop a while back, too). Anyway, the whole ensemble is so large that the little bar pin on the back doesn't support it very well. Liv doesn't care, but it bugs me! Any suggestions??
very beautiful! I love the fabric!!the brooch is very lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. :) Do you have any tutorials on how to make that pretty flower(s)? Great job. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh this is beautiful! I am just in LOVE with your fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteThe only think I can think of is to attach another pin bar onto it, maybe higher up so it doesn't pull forward? But I am just a novice so it may not be practical x
So pretty! Love the color too, what a pretty blue.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is cute but your brooch really makes the dress. Great job! And I love that your daughter wanted to wear it sight unseen. I'm not sure I would get the same response from my two oldest.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very lovely blue floral fabric! Love the dress you had made!
ReplyDeleteBlue is such a pretty color! Love the fabric and floral print.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've commented on your site since I started following a few months ago. I wanted to let you know this dress really inspired me and I'll be making a similar one for my toddler.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your creativity!
Beautiful! Love the ruffles and the flower.
ReplyDeletethe fabric that calls me lately is "hushabye" from tula pink.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue fabric you used too.
