retrolicious

if its all quiet on my blog then it means its been a crazy day with the babies or I've been making something....and yesterday it was the latter as I spent australia day watching project runway australia (great series by the way but after 8 episodes in a row retro daddy wasn't as impressed) and started this dress


the pattern is an old simplicity one for a girls size 4 top which I made longer and sleeveless....once it was modelled I realised it needed a belt so I quickly grabbed some bias binding and tonight will do a little belt. Keira loves it and keeps telling me ' I love it, I just love it'...fabric is from Spotlight and a bit of a find

It is super cute, I love the fabric. You can find some gems at Spottie I reckon.

She is so gorgeous! That is a great Spotlight find - I get so excited when I find something really good in there.

Oh Keira does look sweet in her new dress and what a wonderful day to spend it sewing. I can never find really nice fabrics at Spotlight unless someone mentions them on their blog.

It's gorgeous! Looks like Liberty. I do love it when they tell you they like the stuff you make them.

How CUTE!!! I'm freezing just now though, so it's a good thing it's so hot down there for that darling little dress.

I was considering offering you my first born for a loan of those 8 shows but realised you might have seen them on Foxtel or such like....and really - I don't think I could give Kaela away to come to and live with Keira....too many K's...
