So, yes, I did buy fabric! I think that was last year some time and I finally got around to completing 2 cute little dresses with Tamara’s “Princess and the Pea” fabric design a few months back. I could not resist this design as it brought back many happy childhood story book memories….. The Princess and the Pea was one of my favourite “fairy” stories as a kid. I used a well used kiddie dress pattern I had for the bodice for each dress and then just “ad -libbed” the rest. I lined the bodice with a soft pale blue grey solid fabric so there was no need for bindings or facings on the neck & armholes. The bodices were made with a complementary Tamara Kate fabric and I added a ruffle to the hemline and a sash to be tied in a bow at the back.
The weather is now lovely & warm in Vancouver so my little ones wanted to wear these dresses to school. I tried my best to coax them into a photo op. before school. There were complaints about the sun in their eyes…. but it was too early in the morning for this Nanna to be very sympathetic!
