Okay, Asha is not quite a baby anymore since she turned 2 a few weeks ago. But still, this is the first thing I have ever sewn for her. I used the same a-line pattern as I have done for Samantha (
New Look pattern 6504) and "cheated" by using some iron-on motifs. Hopefully they will stay on!
I did make it in a size 3, so it will be a little bit big on her (she's currently a solid Size 2 girl), but hopefully it won't matter too much. It's going to be a casual summer dress for run-around, so a little loose won't matter. Asha is so excited to have her own dress, it's very cute.

Once I can get Asha to stand semi-still for a pic, I'll post one up. :)
Well done - the finish looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've had good success with iron-on motifs - they are not like the ones my mum used on clothes forme!
