geranium pattern testing
Rae is at it again with yet another fabulous children's pattern - the Geranium Dress - available now! I had the pleasure of being a pattern tester and made a happy Christmas dress for Ruby.
The Geranium Dress pattern is very simple with some pick-and-choose variations, and has a Washi Dress feel (it even has options for that signature notched neckline). I was able to cut an sew the whole thing in just a few hours. My favorite part of the pattern is the faux cap sleeve because the bodice is just a front and back - no fussing with little sleeves.
Ruby requested a bow be added, so I happily obliged. To be honest, I didn't measure the fabric, just cut a big and small rectangle that looked about right and made a simple bow. I hand-stitched the center of the bow to the dress and tacked down the top corners to keep them from falling out of place.
