Nevermore

By ari - September 29, 2013

Eddie can walk! She is now officially a toddler, choosing to stagger around instead of crawling about 99.9% of the time. It's pretty exciting and pretty darn cute! What I'm excited about is the fact that it is SPRING (even though it feels like Summer right now, yeesh!) so I can bust out all her little dresses I had packed away for when she started to walk. Crawling in a dress looked like it totally sucked, little knees getting caught up in skirts! Active crawly babies need activewear, but now she can walk it's time to SEW ALL THE DRESSES!

I used the Baby Slip Dress pattern from Suburbia Soup. It's so easy and best of all, FREE. OH and best best of all, multi-sized! 6 months to 6 years, it's a perfect little simple and easy pattern to whip up! I used the 12-18m size on Eddie, and it fits her really well. It's a little snug around her tummy, so I think I will do the 18-24m size next time, but keep the same strap length as this size.

The fabric is Nevermore, by Katherine Cordega. I recived a few fat quarters as part of my winnings from Project Run & Play, and I had been eyeing off this range the entire competition (Keep your eyes on the prize!). I can't find the grey colourway or the feathers in her shop anymore, but the purple & the blue ravens are still there (I got those as well ^_^ ) and in her shop policies she mentions being able to reprint nearly most of her designs so you're in luck!
