Yes yes I know its summer but unfortunately the weather in the UK doesn’t agree with me! I was browsing in the fabric shop the other day (I only bought thread but I looked at EVERYTHING) and found some great needle cord that would look fabulous on my girls. Its ages since I’ve made any clothes for Miss M & Miss C so I thought they would be perfect for autumn /winter clothes but then I was stuck. All the patterns/designs I see for kids are pretty summer dresses but I want pretty-but-functional autumn/winter dresses. Only thing I can think of is a pinafore/jumper that can be layered with long-sleeved t-shirts and tights/leggings but there must be other possibilities.
What have you seen around? And who are good designers for kids (9 & 6) the Big 4 seem to be stuck in the 80’s and the summer so where should I be looking? Help gratefully received!
I have this blog on my reader, and she has just discovered a new range of girls sewing patterns. http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com/2011/07/wren-wonderment-part-one.html
ReplyDeleteI've only ever heard good things about Oliver and S patterns for children. http://www.misformake.co.uk/category/patterns
