I was meant to plant lettuces out all day yesterday but it poured with rain so I had to stay indoors and sew instead. Yippee!!
I made a dress for Pepper from one of the tree prints that I did the other day.
I sewed some ric rac I crocheted from this pattern onto the bottom hem.
I feel like this dress is a mixture of all the ideas I have been working on over the last few months; crocheted trims, screen printing and sewing clothes from vintage sheets.
I'm really quite pleased with the result.
I love playing around with mismatched panels and binding and patterns and colours.It feels playful and fun.
I think I'm ready to make some bigger ones now.
I hope you have a great weekend what ever you are up to.
The little dress is so sweet Kate. I love the tree print with the crocheted ric rac, so perfect! Have fun making many more which I am sure will be a success.

Amazing.
Very sweet! You have a very lucky little girl there who gets to wear all those lovely dresses you make. Love the crocheted ric rac.
ReplyDeleteI love the dress, wish I could crochet such gorgeous trims. I can't crochet at all... How old is your girl? Mine is almost 3 1/2, and I have to almost bribe her to wear dresses at the moment. Shame considering her wardrobe is absolutely full of them...
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with the crocehted trim, looks fantastic. The dress fits Pepper so nicely- great effort- much more instant results than planting lettuces, hooray for the rain!!

I love Pepper's new dress, all the colours and the crochet ric-rac trim. I will have to try that out for myself sometime. The tree is a winner as well :-) If I had been allowed to wear leggings or trousers with my dresses when I was little I'm sure I would have worn all those lovely ones mum wanted me to wear...its a winner isn't it!
