Flower Garden Dress

At the very first SE Crafter's Meetup ever last November, Emily brought some extra knit fabric along for me to take home (woot!). One of the knits was this amazing border knit that she had found for a bargain somewhere (and now I'm forgetting again Emily, was it Hancocks?). I loved this little garden of flowers along the border, especially these snails...

I knew with such a detailed print that I needed a very simple pattern to show it off. I've made quite a few skinny tees for the kids lately just based on their measurements, so I just added a skirt to Clementine's tee pattern to make the dress. Same idea as adding a skirt to a baby one-sie, really very simple. And I'm so happy with the result!

And how many of us played with this same Fisher Price train, I'd like to know? Ours is still holding up well, 30+ years after it was first given to me when I was her age. Love this thing!
