New Look 6720 in Echino Bonbon
I've been working on this little project in the background over the last few weeks now.
New Look 6720 in Umbrella Prints - Oasis - Wild Floating Grasses (beautiful fabric to work with)
A friend bought some beautiful fabrics from Earthgirl Fabrics and asked me to transform them into some little dresses for her daughters, and skirts for herself.
New Look 6720 in Melly and Me - Where The Wind Blows
I love how these little dresses turned out, especially the Size 4. Completely adorable!
As for the pattern - I think the way that the facing is attached to the bottom of the bodice is a little clumsy, and not easy to sew. There was a lot of unpicking and re-sewing to make it nice and neat.
Nicole M Design A-Line Skirt in Melly and Me - Where The Wind Blows - Blossom
After making my first a-line in thick denim, this one was an absolute joy to sew. It drapes beautifully in this quilting weight fabric.
This one is most definitely on my to do list to make for me.
Burda 8090 in Vintage Groove Polka Dot
Finally, I finished off with this Burda A-Line skirt. I've made this once before... a very long time ago.
The retro style of the fabric is perfect with the design of the skirt..... and Frances was very happy to finally be modelling skirts that fit!
PS - I've made myself a new header in illustrator. I'm still a newbie so don't be too harsh... but check it out!

Oh good gravy! What beautiful creations! Well done you!
Loving all the pretty frocks and skirts.
Loving the new header too. Very cool.
Hey Header is GREAT - suits you like the great skirt you made yourself. Very cool. I can see some swishing on the beaches with it - a scarf around your head... and ice cream!
I LOVE the little dresses - ahhh I need a girl.
It IS odd seeing you featuring little girls clothes on your blog - but they are truly lovely, and yes, the spotty skirt is just super. I can see you in it (perhaps an orange and pink version though! Melbourne won't know what's hit it!)
Look the clothes Cam especially that dotty skirt
Beautiful dresses - I esp love the fabric of the first dress (the little birds .. are they woodpeckers?) and the skirts are lovely.
Oh these are so nice ... I just love the fabrics you have used ..... I especially love the skirts. What a wonderful job you have done.
Just beautiful. I've made a few from the pretty Where the Wind Blows range too.
well this is funny - I'm catching up on blogs because I have illustrator open to design a graphic and it's doing my head in! Well done on your header - it looks gorgeous!
love, love, love all the clothes you've made - so beautiful.
