Inspired by Sarah over at Jinjur mentioning last week that she had finished the last of her summer projects, I used this weekend to work on a summer dress for myself that I’ve been meaning to make for, oh, the last year. Here it is, made up in Sofia cotton lawn by Robert Kaufman. The pattern is the Prairie Girl dress pattern from Favorite Things. I am so crazy about this fabric that I’m trying to figure out ways to use up the last little scrap–lining a bag, maybe, or a little coin purse. Maybe backing a lightweight linen scarf…
I hope you all were able to get around to projects for yourselves this weekend, too!
So pretty! You might try a matching headband:

oh, this is charming! wish i could sew… but, alas, i’m all thumbs at the machine.
beautiful! I have that pattern but haven’t made it yet!
Oh I love that fabric too! I have just one yard in the orange/green colourway. I wish I’d bought more at the time because I’ve been dreaming of a dress in it. I think I could get away with it for Autumn if I teamed it with a cardy and boots!
(PS got my latest spoonflower fabric today and couldn’t be more pleased! )
Really cool dress!
What a great pattern, I have a few of the kids patterns from Favourite Things, you’ve inspired me to get a few grown up ones! And great fabric, too. Overshadowed by your gorgeous baby, of course.
