I swore up and down to myself that I would take it easy this season, and not participate in our local Christmas craft fair. And yet, where did I find myself this week...at the school submitting my application form and signing my cheque. Why...why oh why did I do this? Because I LOVE IT! I love to sew - and it seems that the only way I fit it into my day, is if I have a project or a deadline on my plate. I also love the hustle and bustle at the fair, setting up my 'little shop' and hearing all the valuable feedback. I have decided to keep it simple this year. I've created a dress pattern that is simple, timeless and best of all, easy to cut and assemble. Here's a sneak peak:
The skirts are constructed from a cotton/linen blend in a beautiful, natural finish, allowing the bodice fabric to shine. The bodice fabrics are a mix of simple, monotone patterns (as pictured above) to vintage florals.
The dresses are lined in unbleached, natural cotton. The sizing is generous, to allow the garment to grow with the child from dress to tunic.
Next up are some sweet little unisex pants made from linen, twill, denim and corduroy with patterned cotton pockets and cuffs, as well as, some twirly skirts with ribbon detailing. Lots to do - should have probably started earlier!
