Ladies thanks to Michele921 and Chris pennifold , they inspired me and i made this peppermint swirl dress for our eldest Grand Madison, Hope it fits her as she is 760klm away. In the post tomorrow for her. I am happy with it. It is not perfect as i am not a dressmaker!!!!!!! Hope you like as much as I :))

Mumma, you 'used to' not be a dressmaker, once upon a time, but Miss Maddie will adore this. I know she will. Stop underestimating yourself, you are a real whiz out there whipping up stuff in your shed!!! 😝
Now...you know Miss Briella will want one.....by the way, I'm too busy!!!! Hehehe.....
You did good, very well done. Luv u xx your most favouritist daughter

Hi Lorraine, I didn't start this off michele921 made a dress for her grand-daughter back in July and I wrote to her an asked her where to buy the pattern. She actually did 3 of them. I've only done 2! and believe me, that was enough! So much fabric and so many seams to sew! Love Chris

This pattern should be a keepsake!! Great job. Kay

It turned out really pretty! Nice work!

Love the colors - and for not being a dressmaker you did a lovely job. I can see your GD twirling around and around and around.
