Le Wkend - Task 3 A project for little miss P

Some of the Le Wkend was cruelly cut short by the small matter of a leak. no water and no heating. I had to wait for the plumber to arrive (for the 3 time). The house was so cold, I couldn't wash or cook so..... what do I do on this my first free wkend in my house in 3 years.... GO FABRIC SHOPPING!!! Oooo and what a haul to add my newly sorted shelves.

One of the best finds was brushed cotton. The guy at the shop, Marche St Pierre the fabric capital of Paris... if not the world ;) said it had only just come in I was lucky, and it wasn't gonna last. They had been waiting 3 months for it and boy was it worth waiting for!


Little Miss P is obsessed with 'jammas' as she calls them. She has 1 velour nightie which I literally have to prise her out of. She wants to wear it EVERY day. She has a melt down if I say it needs washing and will only calm down after she has taken it and placed it in the washing machine herself. Its falling apart so I thought I would make her a new one with this gorgeous Miffy and flower brished cotton. I adapted the pattern I used for the first dress I made for her.





I had to extend the sleeves and guess the length so they turned out a little long.


I hung it up so it would be the first thing she saw when came back from her wkend..... its not completely finished, the sleeves are too long, the elastic casing needs to be stitched shut...

but she loves it and she won't take it off!
