quilt cover
well now that the toys are finished im back to that funny old chore of dressing my children. the world of clothes and children is a bit of a nightmare, so instead ive chosen to to use the von trap family from 'the sound of music' as my role models. remember the scene when the children go out for the day dressed in outfits made from curtains well let me say no more, thanks for the ideas maria...
martas new frock is made from an 80s sesame street quilt cover. marta has never seen sesame street but i tell you she knows the name of each character on her frock... a sniff of popular culture (well from the 80s atleast)
ok. this is fantastic! (my kids haven't seen s.street either - but know the characters seemingly personally. tho my 2 yr old is constantly mistaking dora the explorer for elmo...)

This is so cute. It is amazing how much our kids absorb! Is this a pattern of your own making?

What a great way to make dresses. I know that there is a dress made from pillowcases on the internet somewhere too, and they are just gorgeous. I will have to be on the lookout for some nice ones and try it out when I remember where it was that I saw it.
