Liberty Belle

Home made baby corduroy Liberty print dress
Like most quilters I have a compulsion for buying small pieces of lovely fabric, but the problem is that if the fabric is too lovely I can't make myself cut it up. I have now found a painless method of tackling this: make small clothes....and the left over bits can be used for patches!

Luckily I know a couple of small people.

Simplicity 5284
This dress is made using Simplicity 5284. I had to make it a bit smaller by altering the pattern so was a bit nervous that it might not fit, especially after I put so much loving attention into the details:
Liberty lining!!
Flower button (from my spare button box) and fastener....

Mummy Bee...

Baby Bee (in pocket)...


Hand made with love...

...and the very best bit....

....it fits!
