After the fun of the frothy sewalong with Amanda, we decided to do another. This time I picked the Go To Patterns, Signature Dress.
This pattern is great. It's knits, which I love; it goes from 12 months to 12 years; and it has a heap of variations. There are different sleeves, a hood, pockets, a tulle hem and waist elastic or shirring options.
