Wool is one of my favorite fabrics, especially for children. It has the amazing ability to simply let go of dirt - the rest of my family's clothing seems to cling to it. Laundry is my nemesis. No matter how much or how little time and money I invest in doing laundry, stains run rampant in our household.
So in choosing the fabric for a winter dress for my almost two-year-old who loves to frolic in the dirt, wool was the perfect choice. This was an antique cut of fabric that I found (where else) in my one of my mom's old trunks.

oh I love red shoes on little girls. the dress is great -- did you make up the pattern?
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is original. I started out intending it to be a plain square-necked frock, but then decided to dress it up a little with a series of tucks on the sleeves and dress hem.
ReplyDeleteI love her red shoes too - and they somehow seem to go with absolutely everything! Another great find at the Goodwill Bargain Barn (everything you can fit in a paper grocery bag for $5).
