THE BIG DAY

Today was the big day, my eldest daughter's school Jubilee Party. I didn't want my youngest daughter to feel left out so she also had a dress (shop bought) and some Union Jack clips for her hair.



I've had such an overwhelming response to this dress. I don't think I've ever had so many lovely compliments.

Jubilee Dress

The Queen's Diamond Jubilee is fast approaching and my daughter's school has a couple of celebrations coming up. The children have been asked to dress for the occasion and of course I saw this as an excuse to make my daughter a fabulous dress.

I've had the pattern in my stash for a while now (It's the Cuppy Cake Dress pattern) so thought now was a good time to give it a go. 

So with some extensive planning

 

There's still some finishing touches to add, topstitching, buttons and button holes, but apart from that it's done and I'm very pleased with it.
