The Octopus Play Day Frock

I made a dress for Little Lady following a pattern from the book, Fabric by Fabric One Yard Wonders. She chose the fabric over a My Little Pony print. What can I say the girl loves animals.....land and water!




It was simple, the most time consuming part was making the bias tape. The pattern doesn't call for binding on the pockets, but I wanted them to stand out. Next time I will also bind the bottom or add a strip of single fold bias for contrast.
Little Lady loves it and it is perfect for summer! There is plenty of room for her to grow in it and can even layer it over a long sleeve and leggings during the colder months.


Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.    -Psalm 86:11
