First, the toile dress is my recent version of the 17080s Girl's Portrait Dress pattern. Olivia is a good sport and enjoys all the new dresses her mum makes for her. She enjoys wearing her hats and is pleased

This is my third version of the Swing Dress that I've made in the past year--I just love the pattern and silhouette so much! Plus it's a pretty quick project. I used a semi-sheer rayon print I picked up at JoAnn's on
