Baby girl Sundress
I love sewing baby clothes as is so addictive. No fiddling with fit, use very little fabric, so fast. Instant prettiness!
Pattern is Lisa Lam's Happiness halter playsuit-dress version. I really loved her kids booklet patterns and couldn't wait to have a go, making Izzy a summer dress. I had to grade to fit 3-6 months as the pattern age starts at 1 year old. ( Izzy is only 2 months old)
It was the first time I ever graded a baby size (and I didn't had any baby clothes to compare) Honestly baby sizing was a black hole with so many variations as adult clothes. It was a completely 'blind', 'make up as you go along' experience and learned so much. In the end it is a little bit too long on the body but I think I understood the process.

Fabric is from Art Gallery Drift by Angela Walters and I used some Brazilian lace.
Stash bursting! I have so many quilting cottons to use. There is a lovely quilting shop near my house and every time I go there to buy some thread or zippers I end up buying at least one fat quarter.
I'm a 'quilter dreamer' LOL. You know when you love something, plan, talk about it, follow people, buy all the materials/tools but never get around to actual make it anything.
I linked the art gallery distributors in the UK instead of a particular shop as I feel If you liked that fabric too you may want to find it from a local store. One of the things I love about British culture is the "Shop Local" mentality. Support your high street.

I was having a terrible week of back problems around Owop week( I end up not sharing my week- no one need to see selfies of me in my handmade pjs for 7 days). Lucky I felt better after rest/ medication/taking things easy and carried on with my life. I cannot control terrible pain episodes but I can control how I can react to it. Another brit thing I have incorporated into my life. 'Keep calm and carry on'!
I have loads of delicious fabric to sew for her, anyone have patterns ideas? Ps: Nothing I need to grade!
