As a pattern designer and passionate sewer, sometimes I get so inspired by an idea I just have to see it through until it's done! Everything else on my sewing/pattern drafting 'to do list' got pushed aside over the weekend and I decided to make this dress. I had been inspired by pleated bodices worn by an Australian newsreader (Janice Peterson for my Aussie SBS viewers!) for over a year and wanted to make one in girls' sizes. I needed over a metre of fabric for this dress and landed on this beautiful black floral I had been hoarding for about 18 months (fabric details at the end of the post). Isabella had ear marked it for herself and so I turned it into this dress which she absolutely loves (always a win now that she has become more discerning over what she wears)!
It has been a while since I sewed and blogged something. Today I am sharing a version of my Miss Polly dress pattern that I made Juliette a few weeks back.
