The pattern was easy to redraft for Grumble's size - I simply found a singlet pattern in an old copy of Ottobre Magazine, and used it as the foundation. The fabric was left over from making this top. Austerity crafting at its best!
The only downside is that as soon as Grumbles sees me in my Drape Drape dress, she races downstairs and dons hers. And then proceeds to tell every aquaintance that we meet that we're wearing the same dress. It's a tad too matchy-matchy for my liking, but heaven help me - I wouldn't kill her buzz for the world.
Project Details
Pattern: Redrafted Dress #2 from Drape Drape 2, made to fit Grumbles
Fabric: "Original Wally", a cotton blend jersey from Tessuti Fabrics
That is great! Might be tempted by that book now.
ReplyDeleteBoth dresses are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow cute. I am not into mummy-daughter matching outfits either but at least it is a different fabric lol.
ReplyDeleteGrumbles, what a hoot! Love the bias cut for the stripes.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Love the choice of fabric for Grumbles. I'll be making one for DD (21 yrs) but won't be wearing it at the same time - you know what I mean!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD! Grumbles, you just became even cuter in my eyes and i didn't think you ever could!
ReplyDeleteHmm, do all the Tessuti daughter need mini Drape Drape dresses?
