one day, i will start making things that are more appropriate for a girl my age to wear, but that isn’t today! so here is my latest version of simplicity 4270!
the fabric is something i picked up a while back at a market a few towns over…. and the trim and buttons are things i had laying around! the buttons actually aren’t functional on this, as right now i only have a straight stitch machine, and none of my button hole attachments are working, AND there is no way in hell i am hand sewing THAT many buttonholes with my crazy mystery diagnosis arm problems!
this is probably the 5th or 6th time i have used this pattern… and really it won’t be my last. at all.
so, as always more on my blog!
xoxo,
christine

Love it, especially the piping! I love silly prints too, and refuse to grow out of it.
So pretty!

Thanks for your comment. I am going to try those shades for sure. And this dress is too adorable. I really love it. Especially the piping. – what patience.
What an adorable dress! I love the whimsy of the print.
Aloha,
You are so funny. Love the poddle dress. LOL. You inspired me to use the vintage patterns i own.
Mahalo for sharing
So Cute – I love the fabric, and the buttons.
I love it! Please don’t become “age appropriate” – it’s way too boring….hehe
Up until I just followed the link to your blog, you have been The Poodle Dress Girl in my head. Now you’re The Map Shades Girl.
I MUST HAVE YOUR MAP SHADES. THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF PUNCTUATION THAT COULD POSSIBLY CONVEY HOW SERIOUS I AM ABOUT YOUR MAP SHADES.
