Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.

I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.

Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.

I found dresses just bunched up above the waist, it never bothered any of my babies.
Perhaps make one and see how you go. 🙂

(But we are here if you need us) xx

Oh wow, some sweet dresses and equally sweet little girls.

This is pretty too http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/9786 ( but I don’t have it)

I have a Burda pattern, with a separate bolero, you may have.

Is that for AUS?
Thank you so much you absolute darling!

Exactly @meleliza, I admire the skill involved and the time taken to do this. I tend to hand ball (this sort of thing) to Hugo as I am complete dunderhead when it comes to computers.

I found an hour to start Tildy’s velvet Field Trip cargoes. I cut the size 18-24 mnth with the length of the 5.

Lotta, thank you so very much. You are clever.
