New Look 6690 for Stella

By the time this post pops up on your reader we’ll be enjoying the Queenland warmth!  I made Stella a dress from the same New Look pattern as Clare’s, except this time I made View B, the halter neck dress.

The main dress fabric is by Heather Ross, covered in cute little orange goldfish.  I used a contrasting quilting cotton for the bottom ruffle, facing, and applique.

I made size 1 for Stella, who is about to turn 2 years old.  She really loved it – it was a struggle (of toddler proportions) to get it off her again!

Once again, this was super quick and easy to construct – the applique took longer than sewing the side seams and the facing. 

My little girls are very pleased with their new frocks!

And another gratuitious photo, because I think they’re such beautiful children.
