long time no dress

Yes, it has been a long time between dresses for my big miss! Mind you with the way she poses these days who’s looking at the dress….

I had seen this pattern (simplicity 3510) on posie gets cozy and knew I had to make it, as luck would have it SL had it in stock (please note that this does not always happen to me). Great pattern, lots of variations and I love the little pin tuck detail on the front, back and sleeves.

I decided to use a simple fabric to do a first version because little diva (otherwise known as keira) has been rejecting my outfits each morning so I thought keep it simple to see how she likes it. Next time I’ll go for something a bit more flashy and also in a darker colour for winter too.

So this is a pink gingham from the Darla fabric range by Tanya Whelan (thanks Wynona for selling me some as Darla is one of my favourite ranges)

I will definitely be making this up again as it was easy, pretty and Keira adores it. That’s all I need in my sewing these days.

  15. Keira is so funny. I don’t know whats cuter her or the dress. That pattern looks like a must have. I tried a smock top a few weeks ago and loved how easy it was.

  16. What are you going to do with that girl?! She is just too cute and hilarious!! Does she know how gorgeous and funny she is? Great dress too xox

  17. Ooh what a gorgeous model with those big blue eyes! She makes me laugh in all her special poses. The dress is very pretty Corrie, especially love the detail on the front of it too.

  18. It’s adorable Corrie! You make me laugh at saying that the cute Darla fabric is a simple start — I think it’s perfect. And I also think that perhaps Keira has a future in modeling!!!

  19. I’m utterly and entirely won over by this FAB dress. Now. ‘Fess up. How do you manage such impressive model co-operation?
