"Time to get dressed, M."
"Okay, how 'bout my teacup dress!" thinking getting "dressed" means of course putting on a dress.
"Oh, no M, that is actually a summer dress and is too small. How about these pants?"
"No pants, dress!" she says emphatically as she throws the pants down on the floor.
"Okay, well this dress is a little warmer, how about this one?"
"No, I want my teacup dress!"
And on it goes until we reach a compromise. This is what we settled on yesterday. Getting her to wear pants with her teacup dress was quite a feat in itself - thankfully the colourful stripes seemed to allow an exception to the "no pants" rule.
It turns out warm and practical are not high on M's list when it comes to picking out something to wear. Bold, colourful and fun seem to be much more the order of the day (and if pink or girly in any way, is sure to be a hit).
Needless to say, this number I made her a couple of months ago does not get into circulation very much, despite my best efforts.
Oh well, maybe I’ll make one for myself next winter - lol!
So with all of this in mind, and getting an early start on her Spring / Summer clothing, I turned to one of my favourite Harmony Art organic prints and came up with a really sweet flowery sundress for her.
I’ve got a couple of other dresses in mind for her, too which I will show you when they are done.
For now, here is a little sneak peak . . .
