Dresses

Here’s a little red dress for a little one year old girl. The dress is made of red velor and has bunny applique in front. Long sleeves are handy for chilly Spring or Summer days and the cut is nice and wide so it is also comfortable to wear.

I am busy packing and sewing and getting everything ready for few weeks of holiday. I am going to Finland with Onni while I still can fly with this belly passenger of mine. ;) I do hope it will be sunny and warm. So, it will most likely be quiet here in the blog, but I hope you all are enjoying the Summer where ever you are. :) See you in few weeks.

I found a small piece of this adorable pink vintage fabric and I just had to make a little wrap up dress out of it. Isn’t this just perfect for a little baby princess? The dress is size 68cm and is closed in front with press buttons. The top has pink lining. I must say I love it even though I am not a big fan of pink. If only I had a little princess to wear something like this ;)

You can find this pink dress in Retrobug Shop.

What a week it has been. Onni got chickenpox a bit over a week ago and I have been stuck inside with him ever since. An energetic three year old stuck inside for over a week is not a good combination, trust me. Fortunately he is all well now and got to go outside to play and spend some of that energy of his ;)

So, I finally got to spend some time at my sewing machine. ( I started having some withdrawals already ;) This bunny dress is for a little four year old girl. I do hope she likes the end result. I was going to put brown ribbing on the collar but it felt too dark a combination so I ended up using bright apple green ribbing instead. The green velor has this olive tone so it was nice to brighten it up a bit with lighter tone. There are yellow press buttons on the shoulder and a singing bunny appliqued in front. Those bunnies are always so cute, no matter how many dresses I make with them ;)

p.s. Sorry about the odd colours in the photo. I am hoping the sun would show up again after the loooong Winter, so I can take good pictures again ;)

This pink bunny dress is for a tiny baby girl who was just born few weeks ago. It is made of nice soft velor, which is perfect for little babies. I also added press buttons on shoulders so it is easier to dress up. It is so nice to make tiny clothes for a change, I can’t believe that my son used to be this small once. They do grow so fast, these little ones. ;)

Have a great week everyone,

One of my favourite outfits for kids are tunic dresses. Since I don’t have a daughter myself, I am happy when I get a request to make some. I mean, tunic dresses not just cute but also very practical. First they can be worn as dresses and later on as tunics with trousers. And since kids grow so fast, it is nice to have clothes that last a bit longer.

This Retrobug tunic dress is for a little four year old girl. It is made of retrobug cotton and has a zipper behind. I added a string to the hemline, so the hem can be tightened or kept loose. The pocket and the yellow neckline add a bit of colour to the whole. I was thinking of adding some big yellow or orange buttons in front but I think less is more with a fabric like this. What do you think?

Have a nice weekend everyone,
