A floral roller skate dress

Now this one is possibly my favourite. So far. Used the same yellow dotty lining as this one, oh and the same velvet ribbon. I do think on the larger sizes (this is the size seven) a wider bow would look nicer so next time I shall hopefully remember this and make a fabric bow. But what makes this dress so sweet (apart from the pattern) is the oh so pretty fabric. This is the beautifully named Aunt Grace miniatures blue and yellow flower toss from the lovely Sew and Quilt

 And I graciously parted with another of the delicious vintage buttons.

Happy birthday, Chess!

    1. Thank you for commenting! Sorry it has taken so long to reply... I look forward to catching up with your blog soon! And yes, certainly a fan of velvet ribbon though I do think it is tricky to find lovely colours to buy around here...

  3. It is very lovely! Sweet fabric and ribbon. I recently made my first roller skate dress and I am going to do the tunic next.

    1. This pattern is so sweet I imagine it could be addictive if you have a little girl to make for. Actually, I seem to have made a few - and have another on the go now - and that is without my own little girl!
