When one of my most favorite people asked me to make a little dress and crown set for one of her most favorite people, of course I said yes! A sweet little girl named Penny just become a big sister, and I was summoned to make something special just for her. I was extra excited when the request was for me to make another one of my friend Lindsay's adorable Charlotte Apron Dresses. It was such a pleasure the first time around!
So yesterday, ignoring all my qayg wips and birthday crown orders, I spend my sewing time making this gift set for Penny.
It finally gave me a reason to try out Art Gallery Fabric for garment sewing. Everyone is always saying what a nice drape and hand it has for sewing clothes -- it's true! The PIMA cotton is so lovely and soft, and that Emerald color, so vibrant. I need more! My friend also loved the Domestic Bliss fabrics I used on my last dress, so I used some more of those for this apron, too.
I used two prints from my gorgeous stack of Chicopee fabrics, as well! This wonderful Fuchsia for the bodice.
The combo of the fuchsia pinks and the aqua teals is so, so pretty!
And, this sweet aqua floral for the straps. I love a good, small floral print like this and those tiny, little hearts!
Of course, I had to make a Penny crown to match!
I really hope she loves it!
Happy Wednesday, all! ♥, Maureen
