Toddler Wrap dress

I was lucky to win this pretty floral fabric in Zoe's online fabric swap. It came from Sarah and after making the dress, I still have enough left over to make something else as well - plus Sarah kindly included some pretty ribbon that I am planning to use on some little summer trousers (for Little One,not me).



I decided to make a dress for my little girl and chose to make this wrap dress from a pattern by the very clever Melissa from tinyhappy I like the idea of a dress that can grow with the child. It is also something she can wear over leggings or trousers - my daughter is not a fan of dresses generally and I felt this was not too girly. The pattern and instructions are really easy to follow. The most time consuming bit is making the binding but I confess I quite like make binding at the moment. It's a good job to do when I want to make something but not think too hard.

Here it is on the little one who cannot stand still

and whose hands are fast as lightning (#everybody was kung-fu fighting#)

And can you see in the background where she has done an enormous scribble drawing up the wall? Tee hee
