A little dress for Georgia

Your eyes are not deceiving you - I am posting in two days in  a row! Here's another little project I haven't shared with you all yet.

Recently a friend of ours was heading over to Melbourne where my best friend from law school lives so I thought I'd take the opportunity to send over something for her little girl Georgia.

I had limited time so rather than use a brand new pattern, I thought I'd make another dress using this tried a true vintage pattern that I used to make a dress for my niece Sophiia when she was much younger.

This pattern is a very simple girls shift dress, I've also loaned it to another friend who used it to make her niece a dress. It's been very loved since I purchased and who knows how many times it had already been used by the time I bought it.

I chose to make Georgia's dress from this FREAKING ADORABLE bunny fabric I had in my stash. I don't remember where I got this but I'm pretty sure my thought process was something like this - "OMG  BUNNIES!! I LOVE BUNNIES!! SO CUTE!! I  MUST BUY IT!!"

It's for reasons such as this I now own way too much fabric for one human being (although I do console myself in the fact that I have friends that are bigger hoarders than I am).

Here's the finished dress - its pretty cute with all the wee bunnies all over it, I think Georgia is actually too small to wear it now, but hopefully I will get to see here wearing it sometime in the future.

I hope you all have a good week - I'm only working three days this week as we are heading off to see The Cure in Auckland on Thursday! YAH!!

The Monthly Stitch: Vintage Pattern - Action Shots!!

Remember when I posted about the dress I made from a vintage pattern for my first monthly stitch challenge? 

Well that post just showed the dress on a coat hanger and it wasn't at all inspiring, so I was determined to have some "action shots" of my dress.

I was meeting my friend for a coffee on Saturday and asked her if she would mind taking a few photos of me in my new frock. I've known Jaimee for years and I never knew she was such a fantastic photographer! We took these photos at an empty lot near our apartment, when we first came home to New Zealand there was a wee historical cottage here that was demolished, it was a pretty big deal at the time as the time as I don't think the property owners had permission to demolish the building. It does make for a good place to take photos though, apparently a market is meant to be opening around here soon, so perhaps I should take more photos here before its gone.

I hope you all had a great Monday xoxo
