I designed this dress pattern to try and use up these 30cm pieces of Japanese fabric that I had in my stash. I LOVE Japanese linen prints but they are so expensive that I only ever buy small pieces. This dress only uses half the width of the fabric of a 30cm strip.
I also liked this design because it starts on a newborn as a dress, and works its way up to being a T-shirt on a 1+ year old. Its winter here, so my newborn wears this as a tunic with long sleeves and stockings underneath, and the bloomers will work in the summer when its more of a long T-shirt.
Its such a simple, quick design that you can really go to town on the embellishments - a great way to use all the funky ribbons and rick-rack that are now available.
