I have this little daughter Emily.  She is small and very funny.

My second piece of clothing I made this week as part of the Storybook theme of Kids' Clothes Week is a (Charlie &) Lola dress. You can see my first KCW dress here.

Emily absolutely loves Charlie and Lola (written and illustrated by Lauren Child).  And although Emily is two and half and I expect Lola is about five, Emily reminds me a lot of Lola.  She is small and she is very funny.  I have fostered Emily's love of Lola in particular because she my absolute favourite and my best.  If you are not familiar with these books (and now televeision program - soooooo cute!!!!) you definitely need to get on board.  I will admit that Emily was introduced to Charlie and Lola via ABC for kids at 8.00am.  A short 10 minute cartoon that is oh so sweet and innocent.  I love it just as much as her.  We have since got her some books which she also loves and I have been telling her for a couple of weeks that I would be making her a "Lola" dress.
