Last week the weather got really hot. But both of my girls are growing like weeds at the moment and I was really struggling for clothes cool enough for them to wear. So I dusted down the long neglected sewing machine, rifled through my fabric box, and sewed up a couple of lovely simple sun dresses.
There are lots of tutorials out there about how to make these, but I rather like this one. I had enough fabric left over to make nice bias binding for the arms - I really love the kitchness of matchy matchy bias binding! :-)
Young Lucy was very happy in her new frock! She is very much a climber at the moment, and she found this loose enough to not cause any difficulties.
They both wore their new dresses to go and visit my mother. It was a beautiful day, so Emma helped with some tomato picking...
...while young Lucy explored and hunted for ladybirds.
Lovely dresses, gorgeous sunshine, and a beautiful day in my favourite garden!
