New Look 6257

I bought this pattern ages ago, when Clare was really too big for it.  It languished in the pattern stash, but I couldn’t bear to get rid of it.  Lucky for Miss Stella – it’s now been made!

It’s a little dress with matching pants (Miss Stella is in cloth nappies, so I like matching pants that have plenty of room in them, and most sewing patterns accomodate cloth nappies, unlike many bought baby clothes).  Here’s the front:

And the back:

And another close-up of the front.

I like the ric-rac trim and the self-covered button.  The fabric is a quilting cotton recently received from Z&S fabrics.  I can’t wait to see this one on her!

In the meantime, here’s a photo of her wearing the floral romper-dress I made a little while ago.  It looks so sweet!  (Gee, I’m a little biased, aren’t I!)
