Time to make some school clothes for the big Kindergarten year.
The first item in the fall Bandelin collection is this Birthday Party Dress from Oliver + S.
I used some wonderful cotton from Lecien the My Folklore collection.
I didn't have quite enough so I used the same contrast as the tab on the facings.
I was going to bring the kids to the fabric store this morning to get some matching thread, but the Elder Hug-a-Bug said "No. I want red, not matching"
So that's what I did.
Now, truly, this post is a little premature, there are no buttons or buttonholes on the back yet, but that is no reason to delay talking about new fun sewing!

oh! i remember making my kindergardener dresses!
SO cute!!!
that is the cutest dress!
beautiful detailing!!!
I LOVE that fabric! I have been so impressed with all the Oliver and S patterns I've made. So cute and love the attention to detail.
I absolutely love the fabric - you're inspiring me to start making some things for my girl, pronto!
That is one of my favorite fabrics, and I think it looks much nicer with a contrasting tab than with the same fabric.
Most of the time when I post pictures of dresses they still need buttons, whose to know 8-)
I absolutely adore it! And think it's even better with the contrasting facing and red thread. Can't say it enough.
i love this. very pretty and the red thread looks good
i used my folklore on a oliver + s dress for my daughter earlier this year.
What a beautiful dress. My youngest is so stubborn about wearing dresses or skirts...only shorts and pants for her. At least my oldest will wear them.
