Another Reversible Criss Cross Dress in Echo

So I wasn't kidding when I told you that I saw more of Wink Handmade's Reversible Criss Cross Girls' Dress in my future. I try to give as many handmade gifts to the children in my life as I can muster, and I have a teeny girl on my holiday sewing list for whom I ached to gift something made from Lotta Jansdotter's georgeous new fabric line Echo from Windham. I am lucky enough to have snagged a fat quarter set from Hawthorne Threads (one of my favorite online fabric sellers) of the complete Echo collection, and once in the sunlight of my sewing room, I immediately purchased a couple of extra yards each of scattered blooms in agave (the greenish print), and standing stones in heather (the charcoal and violet print). I love the way they go together without matching at all.

This time around I substituted thick white cotton twill tape for the handmade matching ties called for in the pattern, and added one of my brand new twill labels. I know that ribbon and butcher's twine are all the rage right now, but there is something about crisp white organic twill tape makes me smile.  

All in all, I love the way this dress came out. What do you think?
