There is a new Fibre Mood * released and I got to sew a great sweater from it, the Ellis sweater . 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. The sweater is a bit roomy, that is because there is a size 6 and a size 8 and she doesn't fit in the size 6, but the size 8 is still a bit big on her. Well she can grow into it. At textielstad I bought a couple of multicolour threads . I felt this was the perfect project to try it out and indeed it matches the colours in the sweater very well.

I was over the moon when I was selected to test the Sahara Top and Dress* by Bella Sunshine Designs. And so was our daughter when she put the dress on! That twirl factor! The disadvantage is that I am afraid that I cannot get away anymore with dresses that do not have such a twirl factor.
The Sahara Top and Dress is a pattern for knit fabric. I made the dress with long sleeves. Other options in the pattern are, sleeveless, short sleeves or as a top. You have to use fabric with at least 50% stretch otherwise it might be too tight as the sahara top and dress are very fitted. Our daughter was in between sizes, initially I sewed the smaller size, but in the end it turned out that is is better to choose the bigger size if your model is between sizes.
It is a nice, sweet and girly dress with a beautiful back, that makes it even more girly.
I think the dress is a musthave for your girl's wardrobe, it looks beautiful and because of the knit fabric is so comfortable. As my daughter already asked, is it a ballet dress? It is a dress that makes you feel like summer, so let the summer start! Or at least let's start with the spring and summer sewing.
Fabric: blue fabric is a regular knit, I don't know where I bought it several years ago. The fabric from the skirt comes from Megastoffen
