Here’s another beautiful project made by customer Pat P. from Australia for her granddaughter, shown here with permission. I love how the bright colors in the dress echo the botanical garden around her. Australians are wonderful quilters and seamstresses!
Here is a closeup shot of the dress, using California Dreamin’ fabric by Jenean Morrison for Free Spirit. If you are “sew” inspired to make something similar, you are in luck as I just put that collection on sale for a limited time.
Here’s what Pat had to say about creating this dress, ” I made the dress because all you can buy locally are dresses which are are the same as each other. This was economical and fun to make.
“The materials went together so well and were just perfect. I used my bias binder to make the strips down the front. The fabric was so easy to sew and did not crease and I only needed a small amount of each fabric. I added some fancy buttons and little daisies. My grand daughter is 8 and still loves girly things.”
Ok, this seriously makes me want to venture out of my quilting comfort zone and try something new!
Christa Quilts 
Every where I go now people are talking how cheap Christa is to buy and send Fabics well done Christa we need this in Australia thank you the $10.00 postage is a big hit.
Wow, what a fantastic dress and such great fabric combination!
Thank you! Daisy loves her dress. I must say the cost of bringing material to Australia from Christa is so cheap. No matter how much you buy it only costs $10.00 for postage and the fabrics are less than half the price compared to local prices. So I have won all around. Thanks, Pat.
Tell Pat well done! Her granddaughter looks beautiful in the photo and the fabrics look great together. She should be very pleased with how the dress turned out.
