Sadie’s floral franklin christmas dress
I went back and forth on Sadie and Charlotte’s dress fabrics this year-but in the end I went with what I had picked out a few months back, this cute floral fabric. (well, that’s as close as I could find on Fabricworm where I got it!)
the red flowers reminded me of poinsettias and the minty blue accents were too sweet.
I paired it with some Dear Stella Confetti dots (the tiny dots are metallic GOLD. squeal) from my local quilt shop-the Nimble Thimble!
The pattern I used is the Franklin dress from the Brooklyn Pattern Co. Erin asked me to join the pattern tour a little while back but I didn’t have time. She was nice enough to send it over for me to make later and I’m SO glad she did! It’s a lovely little pattern and came together nicely! It was easy to customize to Sadie’s size-I sewed up a 4T bodice and then graded the skirt to a 6 length, fit PERFECTLY.
Don’t you love the little vintage flower buttons?! It was like button nirvana-they matched so perfectly with the fabric.
Oh yeah! Have you seen her missing teeth yet? I don’t think they’ve made their debut on the blog yet! hehe!
I’m so proud of how well this little gal is doing lately. She’s really growing into an awesome girl.
She is addicted to reading (hmm, wonder where she got that?!), loves her sisters fiercely, and is fast becoming one of my best friends-I love having an older (she’s only 6 but still) daughter to chat and share chocolate with!
Next up-Charlotte’s dress! and some group shots!
