Maybe you’d like to see a photo of Clare wearing her Christmas Day dress?
And one of both girls playing hide and seek?
And one on a hay ride with their dad?
And maybe even one of me (wearing a dress I made and a cardi I crocheted).
I hope that you all had a day that was as filled with fun as ours.
Stella’s Christmas dress is New Look 6745.
The fabrics are three coordinating prints from Amy Butler’s Daisy Chain line. I dug around in my ribbon stash to find some pregathered eyelet trim to use around the skirt and sleeve hem. The big bow on the back wasn’t on the pattern, but ties come in handy to make things fit better on Stella and I knew she’d like a bow.
The dress buttons down the back – I have finally learned to sew buttons on with my machine, and can’t believe it’s taken me 25 years to attempt it. Easy peasy, and SO much quicker than sewing them all on by hand!
Stella looked lovely in her new “ballerina” dress on Christmas day. As far as she’s concerned, every dress with a full gathered skirt is “ballerina” or “barbie”.
