Anyway, I thought I show you this sweet little dress that my daughter Hannah helped me make for the lovely Louise at Sew Scrumptious. She is on a mission to dress as many girls as she can, by encouraging crafters around the UK to make a simple little Pillowcase Dress for the Dress a Girl around the world charity. I think it's such a great idea, and had planned on getting all 3 of my kids involved in making dresses during the summer holidays. However the holidays came and went and dresses didn't get made.
Hannah had a day off school last week and she suggested we make a dress while it was just the two of us hanging out. She chose the fabric, cut out the pieces, supervised me sewing and pressing, and decided that any girl needs a couple of pockets in a dress. She's really proud of the little dress and I am too!
I hope a little girl somewhere in the world loves it as much as Hannah :)
I am planning to make a couple more dresses, my boys are keen, and Hannah thinks there may be a little boy in need of some trousers. If any one else wants to join in, you should visit Sew Scrumptious and look at all the beautiful dresses that she has received so far.
Have a nice weekend

Very very sweet x
ReplyDeleteHaving had a back op myself I can sympathise with you on the back front!
ReplyDeleteOh Fi, so sorry to hear about your back! How painful that must be! You did well to make that cute wee dress. Perhaps a wee hot toddy along with those painkillers might help! Jxo
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I hope your feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteOooo great dress, it's lovely, and the pockets are a fab addition. Hope you're on the mend, I'd be gutted if I couldn't sit at my sewing machine! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project! The dress you made is adorable and will be loved by a little gal.
ReplyDeleteHope you're up and running again soon!
It's a lovely dress Fiona! Now take good care of that back, gentle movement, keep taking the tablets, NO lifting or bending, ask me how I know! Hope it resolves itself soon if not you must go to the Dr!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little dress! Sorry to hear you're hurting, hope you can rest enough to let it heal quickly!
ReplyDeletePoor you! Please take care of yourself, and get well, soon!
ReplyDeleteThe little dress is very sweet, and even sweeter is your little girl's effort and attitude. You must be a great mom.
Very cute, no wonder you're both proud. Hope the drugs have kicked the pain into touch by now.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely little dress, and sorry about your back. Hope it is mending well and you are bouncing around soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your back is bad - I wish you lived nearer as I go to a wonderful massage master who, quite literally, has healing hands but instead I'll send you lots of gentle hugs and well wishes...take care xx P.S. Fabulous dress!
