You ...Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Shannon. You won't be dispointd with the ice cram dress. It's wonderful for little babies and older children too. I make at least one per season. It is so much fun having a girl, isn't it? It seems to get better each day! This spring summer I will also be making lots of puppet show shorts now she's on the move. I love your Pinterest board, btw.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637498432307668019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-2581151077550858462012-02-12T19:14:11.330-05:002012-02-12T19:14:11.330-05:00Hi melanie - I just found your blog from a comment...Hi melanie - I just found your blog from a comment on sewing pattern review dot com. I just dived into the world of Oliver+s patterns and I am so pleased by them. Then to discover your blog and gorgeous interpretations of the patterns has been eye candy! My first three children are boys and therefore I never sewed for them (you can relate). Now I have a little baby girl and the world has opened up! It's funny because I recognize lots of your fabric as I have purchased the same as well! I'm currently in tte middle of designing and sewing my daughters spring summer wardrobe and your reviews have helped! I'm buying the ice cream dress ASAP (I even have the same bird fabric as you only in lavender) I'm thinking of the puppet show shorts in different fabrics for much of her wardrobe.

If you have a slighter build than I do and don't care for that much ease, maybe take some of the fullness out of the center front (and center back if you like) when you cut the pattern in addition to sizing down.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637498432307668019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141820454551493236.post-91316144031020589342012-02-10T16:11:18.796-05:002012-02-10T16:11:18.796-05:00Your dress looks so fabulous, I'm thinking may...Your dress looks so fabulous, I'm thinking maybe I should give this pattern another go.
