Liberty Baby Dress

Lucy from the studio has made this adorable Liberty Baby Dress as a present her niece. ย This is made using one of the gorgeous Liberty prints from the SS22 collection.Liberty Baby DressHere’s what Lucy had to say about this make. ย โ€œOne of the (many!) things I love about Liberty fabrics is the abundance of tiny, intricate details in some of their Tana Lawnยฎ designs. ย This, along with their lovely softness, makes them just perfect for childrenโ€™s clothes, however, with my own children now all grown up, I usually just settle for a nostalgic rummage through these beautiful printsโ€ฆuntil now! My cousin has recently had a baby, so when the new Spring Summer designs arrived at the studio I knew exactly what I wanted to make. ย Yes, finallyโ€ฆI had a good excuse to make a teeny, tiny, frilly dress for a little girl again!”

“I chose to use Sleeping Beauty C from the new Wonderful Fantastical collection (I mean the name alone was a good enough reason to choose this one!). ย I absolutely love the bright, cheerful colours in this fabric and the way they pick out all the minute flowers in the design. ย I then chose to use Ed D to make the accent frills as this shade of yellow matched exactly with the yellow hints in the main fabric, and it is also a very small print which I think works well in terms of scale.”

“I used Simplicity pattern S8893. ย I eventually chose to make the dress rather than the pinafore simply because our Summer weather here in the UK often still requires layers and I felt this would be more of an option under the dress. I made it a little shorter than the dress pattern though, in order to show off those fab frilly pants!! I also added the shoulder frills from the pinafore and made a much narrower version of the hem band.
These alterations were all fairly straightforward and the pattern was clear and versatile. ย The trickiest part of this make was the sheer tininess of the pieces! ย As I said itโ€™s been a while since Iโ€™ve made anything this small.”

“I am really pleased with the way this little outfit turned out and I have now packaged it up and sent it as a gift to my cousin. ย Little Imogen will soon be taking her very first steps into the sunshine and, with all the worries and stresses we carry with us in our adult lives, I feel that this is a really important reminder to us all that the world is still a beautiful place, filled with wonderful adventures!โ€
