Hello!
It's been 2 months since the second dress I made for my baby. In a perfect alternate world, I do not have a full time job and I would have time to sew everyday *wishful thinking*! Finally, managed to make a third dress for my baby. Time flies, she's 11 months old now! This dress is supposed to be her first birthday dress but she's still too small for it now as this dress is 80cm (12 to 18 months size). You can click on each picture to view its original bigger size. Kindly leave me your comments!
Updated: Click here for a later post to see my little girl modelling this dress



Pattern Description:
Pattern is from Cucito Summer 2010. I used the smallest pattern size is 80 cm (12 to 18 months old).
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! I am so proud of it! This time I challenged myself to make a dress with collars, sleeves, pleats and buttonholes! I like the the dress design whereby there is a lapel held in place by 2 buttons, too cute!
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, even the collars section. I do not read Japanese but the pictures and instructions are very clear.
Fabric Used:
American Quilting Cotton. It's 'Time for Teddy' by FabriQuilt. It's awfully cute, right?

Such a darling dress! I really need to start getting some Japanese pattern books. I see beautiful things made with them all over but haven't done the research to figure out where to get them, which ones, etc. And I am a bit worried about following the instructions but it sounds as if you were able to do it just fine! Thanks for your comment on my blog and link to your site. So fun to meet other mamas sewing for their little girls. Your daughter is beautiful!
