Check it out - cute confetti spots in the front.....
...and ruffle party in the back!
The pattern is from Ottobre Design Magazine Spring 1/2011, and has been such a hit that I think I'm going to need to hit up the stash to make another version! The best bit about presenting it to her when she got home from school was that she gasped when she saw it and exclaimed with delight "Oh mum - it's got puffed sleeves!"
I've had my own Anne of Green Gables moment. I can die happy now!
