I drafted the pattern off , cut out the fabric, made tea, then sewed it all up after the kids had gone to bed... I was finished by 10.45pm. Not a bad job
This time for Miss6, and because she is so tall, I had to draft the pattern up a size from the largest in the book.
Very serious, we had to hurry so she could go motorbike riding....
And a hug for little sister....
I think the length is better than the first one, I will add a good bit extra on from now on, I just need to find a few nice fabric prints and keep sewing..... One thing that has me a little baffled, is that the pattern instructions don't show a length for the shoulder straps? Or I just can't find it... Any clues?
Having not much fun with Miss6 starting Grade 1, not settling in at all. Hope this improves. I am not finding it pleasant to cope with, watching her crying and screaming for her mummy when I leave her schoolroom. Hopefully this will settle down soon. fingers crossed....

Happy sewing and let hope the week is a good one. It is supposed to rain, so bring it on...

your girls look lovely in their new dresses. My little one is in Grade 1 this year too. No tears though, thankfully.
Can't help you with the strap length though.
Your daughter reminds me of my nearly 10 year old. She is long and lanky and I find it terribly difficult to get things to fit her well. Have enough fabric and patterns really need to make more time to sew!!! Hope your daughter settled in better at school over the last term....
