In today’s post I feature a video of my daughter Jacqueline who made a sweet little summer dress for our little Poppy.
Jacqueline used an Olive Ann design called the ‘To Tie For Dress, Top & Doll dress’.
Jacqueline made this dress from a stretch print fabric and re-designed the hemline to feature a ruffle band. In this video Jacqueline also demonstrates some pattern matching and Poppy wearing her new dress!

You can make quick and easy apron’s or be as fancy and decorative with theme’s and personalise them as you like!

And here is what she??cooked for me to say ‘Thanks Mum!’ Her delicious baked cheesecake with strawberries & cream! Perfect for an afternoon tea together!
