New Look 6796
You already know how much I love New Look for sweet and simple little kid’s clothes. I turned a tunic that I made myself many years ago into this frock for Stella.
I had lots of wear out of the original tunic, but knew that it had passed its use by date. I couldn’t bear to throw it out because I love the fabric – so I refashioned it!
Once I’d cut out all the pattern pieces (and there was a little creative cutting taking place) all I had left was the collar, two cuffs and a couple of narrow strips. Very efficient! The fabric is a beautiful light lawn from Lincraft, but it’s at least five years since I last saw any of that quality there. It’s basically a Liberty of London knock-off.
Just perfect for the summery weather that has finally arrived!
Beautifully refashioned! How photogenic is Miss Stella!
She looks so well groomed for this pic! The new hairstyle is gorgeous, such a beautiful colour. And the dress is perfect, of course. And I know who to give my New Look patterns to when mine has hit size 9-10! Wish they did teenager patterns!
Love the movement shot Lars
Stella and Stella’s frock are gorgeous!
Looks great and she looks very happy with it too
