Remember this lovely fabric - from this
post last spring?
After making a table cloth and a dress for myself (which didn't quite come out, and I am not sure if I will ever actually wear it) there was still fabric left. I loved the fabric so much I couldn't bear to leave it in London & I managed to justify bringing it back with us by using it to wrap around some breakable items that were being mailed from Bromley to Syracuse.
Recently I was rooting through my bag of fabrics and was inspired to make a little dress for Florence. With all the interruptions of life I only just put the final touches on it.
I went back and forth about what buttons I should use - see I was so very drawn to those red buttons. But would it look like a Christmas tree Nathaniel asked? he had a point there.
In the end I went with my heart and used the red buttons, and I am so glad...hardly christmassy at all.
It's a bit big here and a bit wonky there, but she looks so stinking cute in it.
*and if you put her on the table - she practically disappears !*
