.Sunday dresses.


I said I made two skirts for myself on Friday night...here is the second one.

Have you seen Riley Blake's Rainy Days & Mondays line? I saw it and then was smitten, imagining cute little Uptown Girl jackets for rainy winter days! So I ordered some (maybe more than some) and when it arrived I decided that Mum's can wear green umbrellas too so settled on a new skirt for myself :) I think its about time little girls start sharing the fun prints with grown ups!


When we were getting ready for church this morning I was feeling over Lil's current skirts and dresses so headed to the samples cupboard (yes, I have a whole cupboard full of Make It Perfect samples...thinking of opening an Etsy store and selling some of them off soon - would anyone be interested in purchasing?) and we chose this Party Girl Dress made from the Fab Frocks pattern.


She put it on and declared that I needed to take a photo of her...how could I resist??!


Gotta love a new dress and skirt!!

SUPPLIES:
Riley Blake, Rainy Days & Mondays, Retro Umbrellas in Green

    Hey Tone. LOVE the fabric for your skirt. I would VERY MUCH be interested in buying some already made up stuff as I have no sewing skills whatsoever! xxx

    Very great fabric, I love those umbrellas.
    Toni, I just put 'About a boy' and a link to your website on my page on www.mysewingcircle.com - I assume that's okay, let me know if it isn't.
