My daughter was so excited when she saw this! I love the fabric and had just enough to make this skirt - which is basically a tube of material, with elastic sewn into the top hem. I even managed to do French seams!!! I used the pink trim to give it a bit of detail. I can't wait to try making some more of these - they look great on their own or over leggings on cooler summer days!
I've just finished making this simple little dress for my toddler. For the fabric, I used an old skirt of mine (the zip was broken). I have always loved the feel of the fabric - it's really soft and comfy to wear and couldn't bear to part with it, so this seemed like a good solution! It's a basic 'drawstring bag' design with arm holes. I added elasticated straps and elastic at the neckline to bring it all together, then to finish I added the buttons as decoration. It looks great over a vest on cooler days and should fit her for a while as it can be worn as a top with trousers or leggings as she gets taller! With the left over fabric, I'm going to try making a matching dress for her doll...
Here's a lovely selection of strawberry themed items I've been working on! They are now making a very mouth watering display on my stall!
