Sunflower Seams Posy

 I tested for Sunflower Seams Pattern Posy dress which is a lovely vintage length, A line dress for children ages 18 mth to 14 years. 

I really love the flared silhouette of this dress. And the sleeveless version I made here is reversible too! 

There's also the option of a side ruffle, flutter sleeves, puffed sleeves etc. 

I made the side panel in a solid yellow color as a contrast to the unicorn pattern fabric. I used rainbow buttons but unfortunately you can't really see it in the photos. It's an important feature though. She's learning to button her clothes herself so the colorful buttons are useful! 

I think she's really happy in her new dress. Now I just need to convince her that the other side is really pretty too. haha. 

Sunflower Seams Lokelani Romper!

Summer Days are the best for Rompers! And since it's summer all year round here, this little one practically lives in rompers. We are always on the lookout for rompers and this is one of the winners in our books! 

This is Lokelani from Sunflower Seams Pattern Co. I made this version out of cotton lycra for the main fabric and DBP scraps for the straps. I just love how it all came together and the very fact that i was able to find scraps that matched the main fabric perfectly was just icing on the cake! 

This is the shorts length but there's also a capri length for those who prefer the knees covered. In fact, I may make some in capri length for when she goes to playgrounds so that there's less chance of her scraping her knees. As we all know, toddlers tend to fall and scrap their knees quite a bit! =p

Here's a closeup of her in her Lokelani. The straps are slightly thicker here than the final version - the final version straps look nicer cos it's thinner but i find this version cute too. 

I think I will be making more of these soon. Though I may skip the middle tie straps since the negative ease is enough to keep the romper up as is!
