If ever I could literally, physically, swoon over a fabric, it would probably be this one.
Double brushed jersey knit is the stuff of dreams, peeps. The hand is incredible, and it’s buttery soft and so easy to sew with! I am almost regretting sewing something for Sadie out of it instead of being selfish and either hoarding it or sleeping with it as a blankey. (it’s THAT SOFT)
I am a good mom (or I pretend to be), so I sewed up yet another Kensington dress for Sadie!
She’s still in the 5t bodice size, but the skirt panels I widened and lengthened, basically so that on the fold it was 17.5″ from the fold (wide) and 19″ long. (<–for my records basically, or if you happen to have a tiny 8.5 year old the size of a 5 year old.) I also lengthened the long sleeves from the 5T size about an inch and a half.
It gathered SO nicely too! MUWAH. If I could marry this fabric….
is it just me or does this color look FAB on redheads!?
Where did you find this dreamy fabric?… or is that top secret, lol! This is my favorite pattern for my girl and we have a few fabrics picked for spring/ summer versions soon (I’m a slow mover so we plan ahead!).
Just linked to it in the post, sorry I didn’t link it before, my bad!
Gorgeous! And yes that colour looks fab on redheads 🙂
I agree!!
Looks FAB on redheads!
thanks!!
That color does look great with her hair! I have some of the same fabric in a different colorway and omgoodness, it is so soft! I totally understand the blanket idea. 😉
what a beautiful dress and darling child! Have a blessed day http://whimsicalwolfblog.com/
Double brushed poly spandex is everything. If you haven’t discovered So Sew English Fabrics yet, take a look. They stock tons of gorgeous prints, and their French Terry is super soft and drapey. Fabric of dreams. 🙂
thanks for the tip!
