The Ellis sweater is very quick sew but stands out because of the split neckband and waistband, such a fun detail! And of course the diagonal colour block is right up my alley. Our girl picked out the fabric herself, at least the fireworks fabric. I picked out the matching fabric. The print works well with the large piece.

One of the dresses that I made for our eldest is the Azure Party Dress by Ainslee Fox . I really love the dress, it is a party dress for sure, add some tule underneath and the party dress is complete. I made size 3 and it just fits perfectly. Our girl loves the dress with the robots, but then again she loves any dress in which she can twirl and she sure can in this dress. The dress is made from cotton and you can do some color blocking with all the different pattern pieces on the top pa...
