{Kids Clothes Week} Day 3

DAY 3


I'm still playing catch up, but I'm getting there.  Today I have made some little peasant dresses, however this time I've added a twist.  

They are not for my children....

Just recently I saw this facebook post, linking to this blog starting an initiative to gather 100+ dresses for children in Cambodia who need dresses.
I thought, hey, I can do that, peasant dresses are quick and simple to make and easy to embellish, and well, I've got quite a bit of fabric sitting around.


I pulled out a gorgeous duvet cover that I have had sitting for ages and it's just perfect.  I got 4 dresses out of what was left.  x3 size 2 and x1 size 4.

I used my Flutterby Peasant Dress Pattern but Sophie also has a link to one on her blog.

This size 2 looks a bit big on Portia, but bear in mind she still wears a 12-18 month in this pattern.
