Layered Style Dress for Big Sister

Layered Style Dress for Big Sister 

Pattern :  A Sunny Spot; Type 9 (pattern number)

I had enough fabric left over from the little Aboriginal Print Top, 

that I was able to make this sweet little dress to match.

I picked up this soft stretchy denim looking fabric from the op shop the same day I found the Aboriginal print material so I was able to make 2 outfits for the grand total of $5.75.

I don't sew with knit fabric very often but kids love wearing it because it is so comfy.
I must use it more.

Up, up, up they go.

Made it.

I cut some length off the skirt and used this to make the hair tie.

Good old Australian Bush.
We are so lucky to be surrounded by it.

 I love co-ordinating outfits without them being identical.
I think these turned out lovely and I'm sure
they will get heaps of wear as the weather cools down.

This is the second time I have used this pattern 

and I was able to sew it up in record time.

You can see the first one here.

I love the simple style and the comfort of this top.

I scored this awesome fabric from the op shop for only $1.75 

It is an authentic aboriginal print which started life as a tablecloth.

I used an old button that my Oma gave me.

And check out the hand painted rock my Opa made.

You may see a few more of these tops coming up on the blog, 

unless I find a new favourite pattern.

Let me know a pattern you can't live without. I would love to check it out.

You can now see this little top in action over at this post!
