I made this pattern in a size 5, last year and the child didn’t experience any problems. However, I drafted it without sleeves, and as I have some much smaller sizes planned, it’s good to get this feedback. I find that dear O + S vary in ease of getting over heads or getting arms into sleeves. I now bear this in mind when drafting patterns. A new…[Read more]

Thank you ladies for sharing these lovely pics; it’s scary, delightful, and so heart-rending to see how ‘our’ babies have grown. Dear Jane, and Janice, another milestone for your little girls coming up very soon. Thank you both for keeping me up-to-date with their progress; meanwhile, hope your summers are a special time.

So darling!

Good to know, thanks!

Oh you lucky girl! I love the fact you are being catered to! Enjoy those newborn snuggles. I miss them already!

This Garden Party caught my eye a few weeks ago, and many others’, too, judging by the Flickr comments! It is so simple but perfect with the bias-cut accents.

@Jane, I LOVE that Ice Cream dress on your daughter. So sweet.

Three years ago: Sisters at 1.5 and 2.5 years in Ice Cream tops.

Last summer: Nearly 4 and nearly 5 in mash-up flower girls dresses using Bubble and Music Box patterns.

I love Thread Theory Tiina.

Ok, I went back on my word and cut an apple picking dress anyway. I decided on the pink check winter twill for it – no one will believe me if I say “it” decided it had to be chosen! Anyway, I am looking forward to finishing it as I belive the fabric choice was perfect – screams classic little girl dress! I have only made this dress once before and…[Read more]
