The cutest little dress!



Tonight I had my first "official" sewing lesson. I certainly didn't think I'd walk away with a finished piece. This dress took about 2.5 hrs but the next one will be much quicker as I won't have to wait for the cutting table, the iron etc....

I learnt how to do French hems (who knew there was such a thing?) and how to do bias facings.

The beauty of this dress is that when Mia starts to outgrow it, the ribbons can be let out a little and it becomes a tunic top to wear over jeans.

I'm so happy with it - creative bug has well and truly got me now!

*Fabric made in Japan - "Antique Treasures" - Spotlight $14.99/m
