Monsoon blues and pretty purples for warm summer days..
..with a v-shaped back to slip over independent heads, letting Mummy steal a few extra winks.
An empire-waisted bodice with an a-line skirt let little legs run free in the garden and over three metres of ruffle flutter softly as she moves.
The exposed seams are clean finished or bound with hand made bias binding to match the dress.
The dress is 100% fine cotton with a soft 100% cotton lining.
A little grey dress with a splash of colour for girls who like to be girlie, but like to stand out next to their friends in pink.
A semi-circle, the skirt flares open from an empire-waist for hours of twirling in the garden, while not opening too high, making sure she is still proper for tea with Great Aunt Maud.
This dress has 100% cotton outer and 100% soft cotton lining with a zip in the centre back. All exposed seams are clean finished. The pattern is drafted by me.
I’ve been having a few technological issues recently which have resulted in, horror of horrors, not being able to upload photos! It happened to coincide with the day I took lots of photos to share here, which I guess could be expected! Tonight I’m getting my new MacBook Pro delivered, which should not only solve this problem, but should mean I spend this weekend being extremely anti-social while I play with my new toy.
I’ll be back soon with a wee selection of photos from two recently made dresses.
I love to make things. This is where I record my work and share interesting little things I stumble across both online and in the streets of Cairo, Egypt, where I live.
