Sally Dress: Pattern Testing

Have you seen that Shannon Cook has a new dress pattern coming out soon? It’s the rather adorable Sally Dress….

It has  a fab square neckline, that’s wide enough to slip on over the head (no tricky fastenings), the skirt gives good twirl and the biggie…there are massive pockets!

I am privileged enough to have been selected as one of Shannon’s pattern testers and I’m loving doing a bit of  sewing as a break from drafting finger puppet patterns on the PC. Too much time spent at a laptop and not enough time in front of a sewing machine of late!

I am making up a dress in a 4T for Charlotte in this fabric….

I just love it. It’s called Fiesta by Poppy Europe. I can’t seem to find it anywhere online but I bought it in Watson and Thornton in Shrewsbury

As soon as I can I will share with you my finished dress. It’s looking great so far and Charlotte is looking forwards to a new dress!
