A hint of spring...

There was a hint of spring here in Melbourne yesterday, so I took the chance to photograph the girls in their new Miss Madeline dresses.

You can see they were pretty happy to put them on, I didn't have to ask twice...

And because her big sisters wore theirs, the smallest child had to get in on the action!

Miss A chose some Farbenmix mushrooms with a simple red dot for hers and is pretty pleased with her selections.

While Miss L stuck with a tried and tested combo - Patty Young's Modkids Flora and Fauna prints. The exact same prints she chose or her party dress!

You can tell by the gumboots peeking out in a couple of the shots that there really was just a hint of spring, the grass was pretty dewey even though the sun was shining.

You might notice the rather large hems I have left, that's because the girls have a tendency to grow too tall for their clothes rather than too wide.

brrrrr - these dresses will be lovely when it warms up a little more.

What co-operative daughters you have - and lucky ones too.

The Princess and the Pea is still my favorite.

I usually do my summer sewing in about March - so you are doing much better than me ;-)

Pretty dresses and welly boots - what more could you ask for. Its funny reading about spring arriving, and our summer in the UK is nearly over.

Love them all but I have to say Miss L's choice is a winner for me

All your girls look so cute and pretty together in their new clothes.

I was thinking of sewing the Miss Madeline using the Patty Young fabrics! Haha - that would be right wouldn't it, since we have the same tastes in fabrics. But I haven't cut mine out so I might use something else instead.

There WAS a hint of spring today, but it was still a bit too cold for my liking. Bring on summer!

These dresses are so pretty! They look like a summer flower border all sweet in the sunshine.

This is my first visit to your blog and I really like it. It's very inspirational and creative. I'll be back for sure!

Beautiful dresses.
I absolutely adore that first shot... isn't the youngest so thrilled to be dressed up and photographed with her big sisters. Wonderful.

What is that label I spy on the dresses? What does it say??? Sorry if I am being too nosy!

You have used delish fabrics (once again! :) ) The girls look gorgeous in their dresses. Bring on spring!!! I can't wait!

Being such a fabric lover I'm just wondering if you could help me identify this fabric? http://seaweedandraine.blogspot.com/2010/08/what-fabric-is-this.html

Thanks Karen!
