This is the last of the sweet floral fabric (cotton lawn) that I bought in the early part of the spring. I'm making a size 5 dress with it, and so far I'm really loving how it is turning out. I might use the button above for the closure. It is a tad on the bigger side, so I'm still thinking about it. The buttons are vintage, so I really want to make sure they will look good on the dress, before I decide to part with them.
I can't wait to show it to you. Most likely it will be done tomorrow, if I can carve out the time. I went to the fabric shop today to by some light blue silk ribbon for a detail on it. That is all I will say, you will just have to come back to see it.Just wanted to pop in and say hi, since it has been about 10 days since my last post.
I think I'm going to be able to comment on this darling dress. Our computers were not compatible again last week. I don't know a size 5 little girl but wish I did!! For what it's worth, I love that button beside the poppies (?). I am a sucker for vintage buttons and have quite a few even though I don't sew.

The button is perfect. It looks like it was made for the fabric! But, it is hard to part with such a fantastic button.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is gorgeous...can't wait to see how it turns out. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful button--it does need just the right project.
