Oh goodness me, I am sure that my granny would have sewn dresses like this to dress my mother in! In fact I'm sure there's a photo somewhere..... It's so sweet and pretty and the pattern really has stood the test of time. How true that all the good designs come back again and again. Some of the not so good too, haha!

You are my inspiration

This pattern is just darling and would make a great gift for a new born baby. I always think a handmade gift for a new baby is rather special. I usually knit my gifts but this has inspired me to sew one for a friend next time. Don't worry if they're a little big - parents don't mind having a stock of clothes for baby to grow into.

This is phenomenal, It is great!!! Hope to try to make it one day I just made a bitty baby dress today, although it said for 0-3 mths. it was tiny, but it still could work for a baby doll.

Where are the vintage clothes from the 1950's for men?
