I bought this navy floral cotton sateen from Spotlight a couple of months ago and was excited to have enough fabric to make two garments. So although this skirt is short I have already worn it twice since finishing it on Saturday, which is a great sign!  

Since I cut the skirt too short, I had enough left over fabric to make something for Emily (every cloud has a silver lining, right?) I went for a Miss Polly dress as it's been a while since I made one and I really still love sewing them up! I found a great contrasting fabric in my stash (also from Spotlight) and accented the dress with white piping and a red ribbon tie at the back. 

My sister took these photos for me down at a fabulous playground here in Warrnambool. Anyone with kids who has visited my town has been here I am sure! We have had really terrible weather in southern Victoria over the past fortnight - with heavy rain every day.  This past weekend was a very welcome break from the rain and we were loving soaking up some sun at a family part. Emily was very excited to be playing with her cousins so was a bit tricky to pin down for some photos - but she did well and knows how to play the game! 

I am really pleased with my first Dalores skirt, even though it is short! Who knows, maybe I will even wear it without leggings when my legs have seen some sun this summer!!!
