Reversible Criss Cross Girl's Dress
So last week a customer expressed a teeny tiny bit of interest in a dress for a baby girl and this is what happened...
I could have looked through patterns and come up with a price quote and item description like most sane crafters would have done, but my fingers were itchy, and I know four baby girls turning one within the next few months, so I just went for it and tried Wink Handmade's pattern for this reversible dress. I like this pattern for a few reasons: it can be worn first as a dress and later as a top over pants/shorts as the baby grows, it's crossover tie design will fit all baby body types, and it's reversible, so when it gets covered in lunch turn it inside out, put it back on your modern babe, and *wink* - noone will know. Also, I found the pattern easy to follow, and quick to sew, so I'll be using it again.
As for fabric, I thought that I chose these dot and chevron prints randomly, but the morning after I finished the dress I paused at our dining room table and realized that the roses that Mr. T had given me for my birthday matched the dress pretty well. Perhaps I had roses on the brain? Or, as Mr. T believes, perhaps nothing is random. What do you think?
