Afterglow

I am definitely basking in the afterglow of this piece of total cuteness...




It is the 'Afterglow' dress or nightie pattern by Make It Perfect.  I wasn't totally convinced by Naomi's fabric choice (hmmm.... I think something red, just for a change, Mummy...), which is Paradise Garden by Amy Butler, but I do like it a lot now!



My Miss Muffet likes to be able to get clothes on by herself, and hates the feeling that she can't just whip something off at a moment's notice, if a wardrobe change is called for.  So instead of the button and loop closure at the back, I opted for a tab with velcro closure, which she can reach back and rip open much more easily.


For some reason, I have been having visions of this very sweet, simple dress done in beautiful rich shantung silk, or duchesse satin, as a bridesmaid's dress.... what do you think?

Currently creating...

Another little girl's dress... I guess I am on a roll!  But Friday is the day when Miss 3 is at the shop with me, and she loves to help with "Mummy's sewing work".  So today, as a treat, we are sewing something just for her - not a demonstration model, not a test run for a class... just a pretty little dress for our Blossom.  She has even picked the fabrics herself.



I am hoping that some pretty lace trim on the pockets turns it from a simple pinny dress, into a fabulous creation for a stylish young lady ... lol! ;-)
