I was determined to make Lil another Sprout dress sooner rather than later so that she could get some good wear out of it and knew that she would be happy wearing it on cold mornings to church.
Last night I made this for her:
It took me awhile to decide on the fabric for this one but I am really happy with how it turned out. Pretty red with a splash of aqua is a stunning combo and she looks very Little Red Riding-Hoodish. (I haven't finished with the Ta Dot fabric yet and couldn't resist it in flannel!!!)
The side pockets are a hit - especially as they are lined with flannel and keep her hands toasty and warm.
Seeing her wear this today made me think seriously about an adult version that many of you hinted at when the pattern was first released. It would be so super comfortable and warm - especially teamed with a pair of winter boots.
Cheeky smile! It is so hard to get an un-posed photo of Lil at the moment...she insists on screwing up her nose poking her tongue between her cheeks. Full of mischief - love it!!!
SUPPLIES:
Make It Perfect pattern - Sprout
Patty Young, Flora and Fauna, Blossoms in Red
Michael Miller, Ta Dot in Ocean

Gorgeous! Love the print, so bright and cheery on a freezing morning :) I don't think my fingers and toes thawed out until at least lunch time today :P
Cheeky Lil!!! Cute dress :) Lovely pics.
Just whipped it up in an evening????
It would take me a whole week just to cut it out :S
Lil looks gorgeous in it.
Well done,

Please, please, please make an adult version of it and release the pattern. I love it. Your girl is gorgeous but I only have a boy and want to make one for ME.
I love that Patty Young fabric too Toni - I used it with the aqua hummingbirds for a summer dress for one of my girls.
Ta dot in flannel - really!!! Where!!!
Cute, cute pics of Lil.
That is adorable, I think both of my girls need at least one this fall. I agree, you should definitely do a big girl size, I think I might need one as well :)
It looks great! I love the colors and patterns that you used. Great model to.
How about that Toni?
I hadn't even finished reading your blog, when I thought I would like that to wear in winter with boots and tights.
If you bring it out in an adult size I would buy one, and find someone to sew it for me.
Love Auntie Lorraine.

That is darling! I have two boys and love to drool over cute girly patterns!
I'd really like to see an adult pattern for this!
Oh yes! An adult version would be absolutely fantastic. I plan on buying myself Sprout as a wee birthday present to myself, and could actually just imagine whipping up a me-sized version. Please, Toni, please!
yes please for an adult version! I've just finished a downtown jacket for DS. There is a pic on my blog. Susan
Lil looks gorgeous. My 4 year old does the same thing when taking photos so I have to try to take her by surprise. I'm going to try to make this little dress too, hopefully before winter's over.
very bright and cheery! It is hard to decide what fabric to use sooo many nice ones..I still haven't, it will be spring before ada gets her sprout :) Jacinta
