crafting, parenting, the idle thoughts of a Dr of nothing useful/mother in Sweden who amongst her experimentings and wiping of small bums likes to dance, knit, sew and sleep.

1st Birthday dress for TWO
The wee one (TWO) is two and a half now. But 18 months ago, I started what I hope will be a tradition of making her a dress for her birthday. She was born at the end of winter/start of spring and so I wanted something that can be layered with warmer stuff underneath but still functional later in the year.
For her first birthday, I made a wrap around dress with a pattern from stoff och stil and fabric from the same place. It was a really fine corduroy with hot pink trees on it. I'm not a massive fan of pink, especially pale pink, on myself or the similarly coloured wee one. But I really liked the pattern on this fabric.
She got some good wear out of it and I enjoyed having a sewing machine again to make it, rather than sewing by hand.
