I modified the petal top pattern from Emma Hardy’s book entitled making children’s clothes to make a fun little top and dress. Both of the fabrics are imported from Japan and I let my daughter choose the trimmings and embellishments herself.
With ducks, deer, and pink bunny rabbits picnicking – what’s not for a three year old to love? She was also thrilled with the pom-pom trimming.
I think this material speaks for itself. It sort of makes me want to chase rainbows with pandas holding balloons and other happy creatures. I intended for this dress to be long-sleeved, but I ran out of material (whoopsy daisy). I’m still not sure if this dress is done yet. I may add elastic and a ruffle around the sleeves. I’m just glad that she likes these two pieces so much!
omg… i love these! that black top is super cool with those pom-poms!! having fun looking at all your creations!
