audrey's fifth birthday is coming up in June and she wants a fairy dress! how magical! I'm so excited to create this special dress out of a blush pink silk dupioni for the base, soft white silk organza as a gorgeous overlay, and this pretty green silk organza for a gorgeous belt, leaf situation. 

the embellishments for this dress are so fun and whimsical! beaded dragonflies, lots of hand embroidery (still cooking up the exact designs), and plenty of sparkly beads sprinkled throughout! 

ribbon dress! a true ribbon dress this year! I'm so excited to put this creation together... and I think I'll be releasing a pattern in a few months. I saw this technique in a thread's magazine article, and immediately fell in love. I created a version of the dress last year for sweet baby daisy using bias strips to create the bands, but this year I'm going to use silk satin ribbon. 

and more baby gown sew alongs are coming soon 😍  the response was so wonderful to last year's t-yoke gown that I made for daisy, so we're going to give into a number of other options when it comes to baby gowns. baby gowns are fun to create, use a small amount of material, and even if you don't have a sweet little one to wiggle around in your creation, they look beautiful hanging up in your sewing room. 

for this year's baby gowns, I'm using spechler-vogel's lawn in white, superfine flannel in white, Swiss flannel in blue, and then handkerchief linen in an aqua color. then there's this gorgeous lace... seriously, do you see the weaving on it?? oh my!  😍

hope everyone is looking forward to their summer sewing and this fabric haul helps give some inspiration 😘
