what do you when..........

your mummy makes you a brand new dress? you do a little dance of course!

and then your baby brother has to get in on the action!not that he is so much of a baby anymore - he will be 3 next month! where does the time go.

i made this dress using the pattern from oliver & s and the material was an old skirt of mine (now too big hooray!) and a red pillowcase. as there wasnt quite the length in the skirt required for the length of the dress, i added a ruffle along the bottom of the dress to make up for it. however, its plenty long enough and would have been fine without.

what do you think? i now have to make one in the 8 year old size as big sister is also pestering for one. shes already spied some yellow fabric i have, and wants orange? for the trim. hmm not sure about the orange but we'll see!

Your daughter looks lovely in her new dress and your son looks like he is enjoying himself too.
I think yellow will be lovely for your older daughter and if she wants orange for the trim then why not, they are among my favourite colours
