It's been a while since I have blogged! A long time since I made Isabella a dress. I spent some time in my sewing room today and I made this dress for her. The beautiful fabric was sent to me from my lovely blogging friend An, from the beautiful blog, StraighGrain.  I helped An out with some of the line drawings for her Tinny pattern and she sent me this gorgeous fabric as a gift (as well as another piece which I will show you another time).

The fabric is called "Zomerzwanen groot" - which is Dutch for 'summer swans'. It comes from the beautiful Belgian fabric store, Bambiblauw.  I have oogled over this shop but it is written in Dutch so tricky to navigate for me. Unfortunately, I don't think they ship outside of Europe - but I could be wrong, because I don't speak Dutch! You might have seen the summer swans fabric at An's blog a while ago when she made this dress for her daughter Norah. I commented on how much I loved the fabric then and am very grateful of An's generous gift!! The fabric was so lovely to work with. It is amazingly soft.
