honey, I shrunk the dress!

This morning I found out some lovely friends gave birth to another daughter! Nick and I met fresh out of uni on the same grad program many many years ago and his gorgeous partner loves my sewing.....


So, I shrunk my dress pattern to teeny tiny proportions and whipped this up while my babies napped......I used the new atelier akiko gauze and the binding was made with another fabric in the range that unfortunately never made it to my store (sorry, it was just so lovely).


I think the colours are perfect for a new baby and I'm thinking some cute matching bloomers and I'm done! Minus the bright yellow coathanger which was the smallest I had to hand!

  1. Hi darling, what a sweet dress!! So fabulous to see you on Saturday, my husband doesn't even comment on the boxes of fabric i pick up from you anymore, he knows they are all ace, have a story & will be made into something amazing. Thanks for seeing me!!
    Special hello to gorgeous Retro Daddy who was so sweet in the bathroom with Miss K, having that big laugh. Just adorable.
    Also so cute to see my twins with your twins, albeit nearly 7 years apart in age. They love visiting you - i think they must assume we're related, as you're always on my list with family to visit when we come to Sydney.
    Thanks again, love Posie

  5. What a sweet little dress, perfect for a baby girl at this time of year. My sister has just had a little boy and I have been trying to think of what to make him and perhaps your bloomers could do the trick!!
