I had seen Meg over at Elsie Marley use this Heather Ross fabric during her Kids Clothes week and just had to get some, her project was so cute. So I made this dress for Natalie using a Japanese sewing book (ISBN 978-4-8347-2840-8). {Purchased here.} I loved the pattern. I think it was one of the main reasons I purchased the book in the first place.
The Japanese books still kind of intimidate me, but the patterns are too cute to avoid. Update: Here’s a great link with tips on using japanese patterns.
The one key to using the patterns is that you have to add in the seam allowances, luckily I remembered this time.
Natalie loves the dress and it fits her really well. I think it’s pretty comfy since it’s made with the soft double gauze. I’m thinking I need to make a coordinating skirt for her little sister.
