Another play dress

I cut this one out at the same time as the Valentine play dress, hence the reason they're pretty much exactly the same. Saves time and energy even if it ends up being kind of boring. I find I tend to sew more things that will get worn on a regular basis and that are comfortable because I want my kids to wear what I make and I also don't like to iron very much. It seems like everything "fancy" I've made ends up hanging in the closet with only one or two wears and that makes me sad.

Valentine's Day dress

I needed some motivation to sew and Valentine's Day was it. I decided that I had just enough Chez Ami hearts fabric left to make the girl a cute little dress for her school's Valentine's Day activities.

The pattern I used has become quite the standby in our house, as it's easy and fast to make and the girl loves the style because it's so comfortable. Well, actually we only use the knit dress part of the Farbenmix Olivia pattern, and I often alter it a little bit with this time being no exception.



I made it into a curved bodice style instead of all one front piece. I also left off the hood and the pocket. I shortened the short sleeve a bit and finished the edges with binding instead of hemming. I used a size 110/116 cm here.

She woke up and was thrilled with her new little dress!
