New Look 6930
Clare was so thrilled by your lovely comments on Rosie’s new clothes. She is busily planning what she’ll make next. Since we have a long weekend coming up I’m sure that we can fit in some sewing time!
I actually made Stella two dresses for her birthday. On the day she chose to wear the blue one. This is the other, New Look 6930, view A. This pattern appears to have recently gone out of print, but I think that you could still get your hands on a copy if you were so inclined.
Stella was not being a cooperative model that day! This is such a pretty pattern, and it was quite easy to make. The instructions were clear, diagrams helpful, and no modifications needed. I made size 3 for Stella. As usual, I inserted an invisible zipper into the back. I was very pleased with my efforts in lining up the seam this time – it’s perfect (and I only pinned it instead of basting). The trim is vintage.
And the fabric? Its from the Alexander Henry Sprites of Tillbrook range that was released in 2008 – very pretty and little girly! It works so nicely with this style. I think this pattern will reappear for summer.
This is a very sweet dress. The colour looks lovely on her.
Gorgeous dress, and that last ‘model’ shot is awesome! Not co operating? I think not!
Very sweet dress and model. Love Rosies clothes too and as Claire is the same age as Kane I can appreciate just how well she has done.
