A bit more than a toile

Ages ago I bought a HUGE piece of fabric with pink butterflies from the remnant box for about £3, I had no idea what I was going to with it but it was too much of a bargain not to.


The other day I bought this pattern..

...which is also the pattern the Ikea trousers came from, this time I had a go at  the dress but without the puff sleeves because Pops could get more wear out of a sleeveless one by wearing tops under it.


So I used the butterfly fabric as a kind of toile that she could wear if it turned out ok.


I had a few troubles with the weird bias binding on the arm and neck holes but it's wearable....

Now to make it in some funky fabric! Come back tomorrow to see what it was!
