This dress is gorgeous and I'd love to make it for my 3 and 7 year old grandaughters. I have no idea how to make clothes without a pattern so you must be very smart. Well done!

Love, love, love the dress! I was blessed with 2 sons, 3 grandsons & 2 granddaughters. Boys don't appreciate hand made clothing but now that they're getting older, they seem to wait with bated breath for more quilts.

Thank you, I'm so happy you like it. Glad to hear that the boys like your quilts! I am making some for my nephews at the moment, hopefully they will love them too!

Hi ladies - thank you for your lovely comments! I am just about to head out for the day, but I will draw up the pattern this evening and post it as a pic. Craftsy are working on updating their projects page so we can post a PDF attachment for patterns and as soon as they have done this then I will attach! At the moment you only have the ability to put a link in to another website, I don't have a website so can't do that sorry. Size is to fit a 4 year old.
