Christmas dress #2

My daughter came with me to Fabricland and she picked out the fabric for a Christmas dress.
Using Oliver + S pattern, Bubble dress, here's the dress.  I'm pleased with the results.


And it looks good on Caitlin.  It's size 2.
Because it has a capped sleeve, I ordered some sage green velvet from On-line fabric  to make a shrug.



The order was sent right away and I will certainly use them again if I need to get something that isn't in my stash.
Using McCalls 5964 in size 2, I whipped up the shrug.  It's a little small, so next time I'll make size 3.


The velvet is stretchy so for the lining,  I used a stretchy fabric I found in the 'slinky' bin at Fabricland.


Mom likes the dress. Caitlin likes the dress.  Grandma loves the fabric.

  11. I love dress and fabric...it has been ages since I have sewn for a child. Other than making the little dress with the tank top...you know how you cut the tank top off and add a skirt...I think that is the only thing I have made since my girls were young.
