Making things for little people is one of the ways I express how special they are to me. So I made the Bumblebee dress for my sweet niece.
I made the Bumblebee dress for my daughter when the pattern was just released and have been meaning to make another one for ages! Isn't it funny how sometimes we need an excuse to finally make something?
I made a size 1 dress hoping it would fit my niece by the time summer returns to Australia. By that time she will either be walking or not far from walking. In my experience dresses and crawling little girls just don't mix too well!
Small things make me happy. Like finding two buttons that match the gold/brown on the front of the dress among gazillion buttons in my stash! It might be a small detail, but it my eyes it completed the look of the dress.
This dress was so much fun to make! I hope my sweet little niece will enjoy wearing it.
Very, very pretty. The print and the denim just are so perfect together. What a lovely present!
ReplyDeleteThank you Annika. I can't believe I am not sewing for my niece more often... I wish they lived closer :(
DeleteWaw, such a beautiful dress! Really love your combination of the printed fabric and the denim!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It was a fun project :)
DeleteIt's gorgeous jenya! It will be durable for a little girl too:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Suz. Yes, kids clothes can't be fragile! Denim is such a wonderful option for kids clothes. Or anyone's clothes for that matter ;) I bought a few metres of this denim so there is still enough left for a skirt for me after I made dresses for my niece and R :)
DeleteCute bumble bee dress!
ReplyDeletePerfect match between denim and contrast fabric, this dress is so lovely and cute. I can see how special your little niece to you through this gift, Jenya! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet gift, Jenya! The dress is beautiful and I am sure it will be loved by the baby girl and her parents!
