A few months ago, Minerva sent me some gorgeous Lady McElroy Viscose Jersey in this fantastic bright pink with black polkadot print. I knew it would make a perfect big swishy dress for my eldest, but then after it arrived, she decided she hated it. Black polkadots, apparently, were not acceptable. Anyways, after I offered it to her younger sister instead, she quickly had a change of heart!

To showcase this fabric, I used the Peony Patterns Periwinkle Dress. I then made some modifications to turn it into a top for my youngest. I’ve written a little more on what I did over on Minerva today!

I’m Natasha (Nat) and I’m an Australian girl who grew up in Hobart, Tasmania and moved to Northern Virginia, USA in 2005. When I was a kid, my grandmother taught me how to hand embroider, and later, between seventh grade home ec. lessons, my mother, and a lot of trial and error, I learned to machine sew too. I mostly sew children’s wear but I'm also trying to make more of an effort to sew for me!
