I think this one would be perfect for a six month old - http://smashedpeasandcarrots.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/little-girls-crossover-pinafore-pattern.html<br />The pattern and tutorial is free and I find these little pinnies are great for beginners (they were one of the first dresses I made for my girls) and as they grow they can wear them as little tops over leggings. Happy sewing - let me know how you go :)<br />Ros xRoslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589284767041828265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-41644218378036327222013-04-09T15:03:52.496+10:002013-04-09T15:03:52.496+10:00I love the dress!

That gives me three months to figure it out! Got any suggestions? I can sew a quilt but never made clothes in my life. Will you help me pick a simple pattern, you make it look so easy. It is just spring here so it will be close to summer.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841562485538558791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-13493594496678289252013-04-09T14:53:15.422+10:002013-04-09T14:53:15.422+10:00I just purchased this pattern https://www.etsy.com...I just purchased this pattern https://www.etsy.com/listing/79549544/pdf-pattern-ballet-basics-1-ballet?ref=shop_home_active as Ruby loves her ballet cardigans and I wanted to be able to make them in colours other than pink and it's nice to support another Australian sellerSew Ruby and Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613216113049354402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-55168390888618807002013-04-09T14:39:00.264+10:002013-04-09T14:39:00.264+10:00Gorgeous dress!

So clever with the dress-...oooh very gorgeous Ros!! So clever with the dress-making, and Anna looks so very happy! Welcome to the buying-two-of-everything era! My two are 25 months apart - what's the gap between yours? To be honest, the buying-two does make life much easier - as does the fact that my two wear the same size clothes - I just try to buy different colours. But stuff like leggings, hats, shoes, jeans - the same. They love it. They choose to dress similarly very often, and love being mistaken for twins. <br /><br />I can even remember the moment our two-of-everything started - I'd borrowed one of those red and yellow Little Tikes cars from the toy library when the girls were maybe 1.5 and 3.5 - lugged it home, and then the pushing, shoving, determined bottom-sliding for the driver's seat started. They had NEVER squabbled over anything. So I pushed the toy car into the bathroom, shut the door, rang the toy library and asked if they had another, so I could borrow that too OR I would have to return the one I already had. I have a gorgeous pic above my sewing desk, of the two of them, sitting side by side in their Little Tikes cars, watching TV. They've rarely squabbled over anything since (hmmmmm because they have an enabling-buy-two-of-everything mother ... :-D) xcat and vee xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740352837418442644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-89744012329481434092013-04-09T08:37:53.838+10:002013-04-09T08:37:53.838+10:00A lovely dress.

Draw a loose pattern yourself for a simple jacket.<br />Why not hop along to an op shop and find a big lady's cardigan in a pink shade. Grab some left over scraps from the girls' dresses. Experiment and cut out sleeves and fronts from the cardigan. Use your fabric scraps to cover stains and fuzzy patches. Patchwork the other pieces of the jackets. Embellish with buttons and ribbons that the girls choose. In next to no time you will have coordinating jackets for several garments.
