Hi All,
Today it is my stop for the designers swap. Here is a little summary of the beautiful
pattern I got to make. For the full post, come to www.sofilantjes.com
The pattern that I got to sew is the Lily Lace dress from Made for Mermaids(all Lily Lace
patterns (baby, girls, doll) are 25% off with the code lilylace (good 4/20-4/24 midnight
cst) on www.madeformermaids.com only). This was my first time sewing one of her
patterns and it was really fun. I used a dark blue woven fabric that I bought on sale. Yay
for sales! I really love to use blue fabric for girly dresses (yes I do that a lot). So this
fabric was perfect. And still girly because of the big flowers. The blue bias tape I already
had in my stash from a previous project that I never finished, perfect. All I needed to find
now was pretty lace. I wanted blue pre-cut lace that was hard to find but finally found
the one I wanted in a dutch webshop. The width and color where perfect and I loved the
flowers on this on.
After I had my materials it was cutting time. Printing and taping the bodice was a breeze.
It all went together perfectly. The skirt part is a rectangle and measurements are in the
instructions. This saves a lot of paper so we get to save another tree :-). The fabric I
used is a 140 cm wide fabric, so by using the width of the fabric I got a beautiful full
skirt. Really girly and twirly. Instructions in this pattern are very clear an I love the little
bit of humor Megan (the designer) put in there. It made me smile.
Did you seen my baby girls personal touch to the dress? I think you can style any dress
with rain boots don’t you…….. And they even have little lights when she walks. Perfection.

Hi!! (waves) It's Megan from Made for Mermaids! I got to sew up the beautiful Primrose Anne dress by Pollywoggles. This was a new to me designer; I loved this pattern and how my dress turned out!
There is only 1 page to print, an arm hole cut out with all sizes 1-8 fit on 1 page and the rest is cut from a chart in the tutorial. This makes it much QUICKER and if you're like me, sewing during nap time, this is perfect! I love the straps on this sweet dress, they are really stunning and can be adjusted so many different ways for different looks. The elastic back, loops and adjustable straps make this a grow with me style, which I always love.
I also adore that this could be an everyday wear or special occasion dress, the double ruffle on the bottom make it the perfect twirly dress! Please head over to my blog to read more!
