I was up until 1:30 a.m. last night sewing this dress. I started it sometime after 10:00 p.m. Thankfully my husband is on vacation for a month so I could sleep in this morning. I bought the four colours of the Tiger print by Alexia Marcelle Abegg for Cotton + Steel. This is from her “Hatbox” collection. I knew from the moment I saw it that I wanted to use this fabric to sew the “Ice Cream Dress” (view B) pattern from Oliver + S for my baby girl. This dress is a colour block dress which one would normally sew with solids but i think it has turned out very cute with the tiger prints. I posted a photo similar to these on Instagram today and Alexia herself left a comment on it. That was a bit of excitement for me let me tell you! 🙂
Is this cute or what!? She’s got a tooth coming in so is busy chewing on her hands. |
Good Heavens, Girl, do you ever sleep??!
And I CANNOT get enough of this gorgeous baby! She is simply edible!! Looking a little like the Hubs, maybe? That's nice for him considering he'll be on shotgun duty when she's a teenager 😉
XOXO!!
The dress is totally adorable and that is so cool that the designer saw it.
The photos are beautiful. What a sweet, sweet baby! And a very lovely dress. Well done!
