Summer Loving

I can feel it in the air today summer is coming, ok well spring at least. After a few bad weather days we ventured outside today to blow some bubbles, splash in water and eat some juicy strawberries. I bought this pattern from Etsy the other day (although I got it in the 6 months - 4 years size). I made it up in some spare fabric I had floating around so I could check the sizes. It was super easy to make and I can see the girls wearing this style throughout summer as it can be made in good fabric for going out and in other fabric for playing around the house or popping on over their swimmers. I left the elastic out of the arms because my girls don't seem to like that. Charlotte's is a little short because I ran out of fabric but I was really just wanting to check the size because I had to enlarge the pattern for her. Both of these are made from vintage sheets I had lying around. I've got some lovely fabrics calling out to be made into these dresses.


Bring on Summer

P.S. I'll be back later for This is... I'm finally getting back into it but picking my favourite childhood book is going to be hard!

I love the dresses. I can see myself making many of those too.

They look lovely Cass, and the girls look like they are having so much fun.
