Last week, when I made this dress for Adele, it was almost 30 degrees. It felt a little silly to sew such a warm dress on a warm day. This week, Winter hit Sydney and it has been shockingly chilly (
OK Tanit-isis - the weather def isn't chilly by your standards. You'd still be waltzing around in a tank, but it is cold for us Aussies).
This is the second time that I've made this
Heidi and Finn pattern. This time I did not make it before the school run, but I did make Adele 6 pairs of leggings like the ones pictured to keep her happy. My stash is now feeling a little lighter, with a number of scraps and
a wadder now transformed into finished garments for the kiddo.
Cold weather is all relative. How I'd give to have an Aussie winter right now though. Currently 8C degrees in spring in Montreal.
ReplyDeleteThe forecast here today is for a high of 17C... I'll believe it when I see it (but be very, very happy if I do!)
ReplyDelete... Believe it or not, I'm a pretty big winter wimp. The tank tops don't come out below about 25C, unless I've got a topper with them. My kids now, they're in their flip-flops when the snow's still on the ground...
The dress is super cute but the leggings look even cuter! Doesn't it feel nice to get a bunch of practical stuff stitched up and out of stash? :)
All that stash busting feels good, doesn't it. Everybody loves leggings. The dress is pretty darn cute.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the cutest pattern! And it looks very warm and cozy for a chilly winter day.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so sweet - great pattern. Sewing from the stash is great and I really like cranking out leggings for my girls too.
