I finally did it. After years of owning the pattern, I finally make the Peppermint Swirl dress for my three year old granddaughter. Fabric came from Joann's. I made bias tape for the hem, and sewed it on the front side. I hope she likes it.

I didn't enjoy cutting it out, but following the directions to sew was so easy.

Good job. I bet if you make her twirl she will be delighted.

Thank you. My daughter wants to let her pick out her own buttons, so I didn't finish it up totally today. My plan was to use Kam snaps but she will be happier to choose her own buttons.

I am not a fan of tracing patterns, but I want to have it for when she is bigger too.

I remember Chris (Pennifold) making one of these beautiful dresses.
You have done the most amazing job. Just love the material you have chosen. Very pretty.

Thank you. It took trips to three different Joann's Fabrics stores to get enough but I loved the two prints.

Oh my gosh... this dress is so fabulous! She will look like a dream doll in it for sure! Job well done! Love the reverse color of the fabrics.

I was unsure about the salmon colored print, as Riley is a redhead. But I just loved the two prints together. Thank you for your kind words.

Hi Jenny, yes, I made two of these 5 years ago and they were so cute on the girls when they were 4 years old. Mine were in Navy and White. I don't know whether Delphi, our now 5 year old could wear Ophelie's, but she is little. I'll have to check with Amy and see if it fits her. Great job on yours, love Chris

Thank you. I love seeing pictures of little girls in their dresses twirling. It isn't easy to find coordinating prints any more.
Love seeing your gorgeous baby and that beautiful blue dress.

Thank you. She has just come back from a weekend at her father's, and she is always in a bad mood the day after. I guess it's the change in routine. It was a long hard day for us today.
Ah, this too shall pass. Easy for me to say, mine are just a bit older. Hang on !

I hope I can get her to try it on and then spin. She is very toddler opinionated!

Haven't seen a picture of a granddaughter in one of these yet where she wasn't glowing! It is precious.

I hope she likes it. She has turned three, but her terrible two opinionated self is still continuing!

Thanks. It was harder to cut out than it was to sew. I really thought that the swirls would be difficult to sew, but they go together so easily.

Thank you. She doesn't like to put on anything new, but likes to look at it for a few days first. So I hope she will wear it before she outgrows it.

Twirly girls love these!

My Riley is sort of a princess who plays in the mud with the dogs. So it's hard to predict if she will actually put it on! I hope so.

So beautiful! She will love it, especially when she realizes the twirl effect.

She still hasn't agreed to try it on yet, but her mama is working on it!
