I love this dress pattern from 'Carefree Clothes for Girls' by Junko Okawa. I've been eyeing it for a while and finally got around to it. It was quick to sew up. The time consuming bit was hand stitching on the patches. Even that wasn't too bad. I added gathered top pockets with a bit of a bias edge. I'm of the opinion that girls clothes never have enough pockets. My girls are forever collecting things in my pockets when we go for walks. I figure if I give them their own maybe I'll stop finding rocks in my pockets... not that I mind too much. I only had five red buttons and Lil loved this blue button. I figured it couldn't hurt. And yes she is carding wool in the first shot. It is a favorite pass time around here.

I have been eyeing this pattern, too. Thinking about using some Heather Ross fabric for it and yes adding pockets, too! How funny :)
