In fact, at 37 degree Celsius here shouldn't count as a spring, I guess. We are embrace early summer and realize that the temperature may shoot up to over 40 degree this year. What I can do is sewing the new dresses and tops for my girl in my little sewing corner to make this summer more colorful. And my girl spend a lot of her times in our village's garden. Especialy on her beloved tree. Can we count this as her favorite place?
I bought "Sew Classic Clothes for girl" the awesome book by
Cottage Mama for many months ago. And now I modified classic A-line with round yoke to be a bubble dress with round yoke. The dress was inspired by the strawberry, which I think very suit with this season.

The book is great. I was so stumble to understand armhole instructions process at first. But once I got the idea, the result was came out so perfect. I love when the clothes I made have done so neat like this!

I still made almost of the girl's dress in flare out or twirly style. Because she is a "full of energy type" girl. Narrow A-line skirt will forbid her from jumping and tree climbing which are her favorite activity.
Daddy did comment that the dress may look like a watermelon dress instead of strawberry... but my intention in the first place is to make a strawberry dress. Even the nearly 40 degree temperature can not make me see it as a watermelon. (But I want one for sure, who wouldn't want a slice of watermelon in the hot day?)
I made it in size 4T. With the small figure of my girl, it still has roomy to grow in the dress which is perfect! And maybe my next project would be a watermelon inspired outfit. what do you think?
Thank you for stopping by. I really love to hear from you!
Love,
Penya
