.Pattern Release: SPROUT.

THANKYOU EVERYONE - GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!!!

Hello friends! Today I'm excited to announce the release of the latest edition to the Make It Perfect pattern collection, Sprout.

A dress is a girl's best friend and shouldn't have to miss out on being worn when it is cold outside. Sprout is designed to be worn when the weather cools down.


Fully lined with warm flannelette, Sprout is set off by it's pretty gathered sleeves, long flared skirt, convenient side pockets and warm hood.


No need to hibernate indoors anymore...stay cosy and chic this winter wearing Sprout!"

(P.S. Sprout makes a great summer dress lined with light cotton fabric too!)


I am SO happy with how this dress turned out. I had the idea in my head for months. I knew that Lil's love for dresses would prove to be a little tiring during winter. It would mean she would have to layer everything, and while layers are very cute, they aren't always practical when you have an almost 3 year old having a tantrum in the morning when you are trying to get out the door because she JUST WANTS TO WEAR A DRESS!!! Because Sprout is flannelette-lined it is extremely warm and cosy meaning that both Mum and daughter are happy :)


Head over to the Make It Perfect website to see more photos and check out the fabric requirements for Sprout.

If you have a store and want to stock this or any other Make It Perfect patterns, contact Creative Abundance to place an order.

If you would like to purchase a copy of Sprout for yourself, they should be popping up in retail stores very soon. Ask your favourite store to get one in for you!


I know I always say this, but seriously - how adorable is my little model Mary?? She was so fun to have modeling Sprout and is a little girl with a huge personality!!

A big shout-out to Fiona (once again) for the brilliant photography. As always, I was jumping up and down with excitement when I saw what she had captured :)

Alright, lets get the show on the road and give away a copy of Sprout. Leave a comment on this post to be in the running! For a bonus entry, post about this giveaway on your blog, then come back and leave another comment telling me you have blogged about it.

(Giveaway will close Thursday 20th May and winner will be drawn via a random number generator.)

(Post-edit...a few people have asked what fabric I have used to make the dress:
Exterior - Saffron Craig, Fantastic Fairies, Fairy Circles
Flannelette - Riley Blake, Just Dreamy, Tone on Tone Flowers in Pink)

Oh! Darling! Why haven't I seen anything like this before?! I love this idea and it would definitely mitigate any battles between me and my dress-loving kiddos in the cooler months.

Hey your model is fantastic! So is the dress. I found my way here from Karen's place (And So I Sew), where she's showing of her tester handiwork.

What a bugger it's not in stores yet and I also missed the cutoff for the giveaway!

Will look out for the pattern when it's released. Karen assures me the hood's not tricky!

Lily Mulholland said...

Except I just discovered that because I'm late to the party the pattern IS available from Kelani :)

Groovy!

Mange said...

this doesn't come with an adult sized pattern does it?
