I was five months pregnant with Maddie when we left London and before we left I purchased my first ‘maternity’ outfit. Made out of 100% silk, it wasn’t cheap and I think over two pregnancies I only worn the thing twice – such a waste.
Anyway, during June Sew Mama Sew are hosting a ‘Make It, Wear It’ challenge. This proved to be the incentive I needed to actually do something with the dress.
I took the scissors to it this morning and using a pattern from the new Prints Charming book, Maddie now has a new sundress for Summer.

Gorgeous.
Looks so light and comfy for the hot weather too!!
With those blue eyes of hers, she'll look divine in this.
I love it! Such a beautiful print definitely needed to be upcycled!
What a pretty dress it has made!

Great idea Kate! I have such a soft spot for beautiful blues. You've done a superb job.
That's so beautiful, kate and I love the 'full circle' thing going on there too ;-) (Must get my hands on a copy of the book too!)
Lucky Maddie!
Silk most appropriate for playdates methinks. x
The dress is adorable. The fabric and the ribbon are a great match. I love the synergy of it all too.

Love it Kate, the fabric is so pretty!! Is the book worth buying? I saw that it was out, but I haven't seen it – is it good? I love the dress pattern.
