Maia's nursery has just been awarded 'Green Flag' Status, which for the unfamiliar (ie everyone) is a credential for awareness / education / implementation of eco matters within schools and nurseries. It's actually a pretty big deal and quite hard to get so there was a party today to celebrate. The brief: wear green. When the brief was delivered: yesterday.
It was just as well for me that sleeveless skater dresses are even faster to sew than the those with sleeves, and I made it last night. Between the hours of midnight and 1AM.
Obviously, she had many other green things to wear but she claimed this fabric for a dress as soon as it arrived. She already has two long sleeve skater dresses and three short sleeve ones so with our trip to Summerworld (ie the States) coming ever-nearer it was time for some proper warm weather attire.
And god bless you, Green Flag, for forcing Elsie wear her skirt.
Yay you got some green fairies! :)
ReplyDeleteI did indeed :)
DeletePlease tell me the green fairies is a fabric you're going to be selling? It's seriously delicious and might pass girly muster at my house. Love the skater dress sleeveless! Didn't you have to redraft the top, though? IIRC, the sleeves on skater are raglan, right?
ReplyDeleteI will be! This is one of the fabrics I was talking about arriving on FB last week, it's still a bit tricky and I can't list it yet because of that:) Yes, the other skater dresses are raglan so I redrafted the bodice.
DeleteGorgeous! Did she enjoy her party?
