I wanted to make a dress for my little girl - this was quite hard work and I'm sure I over complicated it, but I really enjoyed making it! I didn't have a pattern - I just made it up as I went along. I've never made a dress before, so I cheated with the top half and sewed the 'skirt' onto a long sleeved top! I made her a matching bag with the left over material. She loves it (phew!).
