Oh hello there! Life has been busy just being life, days roll on, flowers bloom, and I get caught up in the nature of living. Every once in a while I take a moment and dust off the sewing machine and get reacquainted.
In this case, a little dress for one of my little friends. Made from a bit of vintage fabric I've been hording for quite some time. I was inspired by the riot of blooms popping up everywhere here in the PNW. Happy Spring!
I added a vintage doily for a pocket. This is one of my favorite little girl dress patterns. I have re-traced and adjusted it so many times that I can't remember the original pattern I started with when Pony girl was about 3 years old. I made it many times and it never disappoints. I love this version in this treasured fabric.
Of course one must add a vintage button to finish it off.
It really is one of my favorite things you know, sewing for littles. Makes me happy indeed. Not to mention that this dress is going to be worn by one of the sweetest littles around!
What is one of your favorites things to make?

I must tell you that when I first saw this adorable dress with the clever doily pocket, I was immediately reminded of lots of mini dresses I made myself during the 60s into the early 70s. What a splendid crescendo of memory lane!
It's grand to see that you have used this design to made lots of adorable dresses for littlies. Minis for minis.
