Last week, the night before I was cut off, I got round to making one of these smock dresses that I got the pattern from ...
[wheres it from?? - i just spent about an hour trying to find who has this pattern on their blog - help!!] *** edited to add - found it !!! here at The Mayflys blog.
Anyway, I made it from lovely green linen I bought ages ago really cheaply from Ikea, and lined it in a cotton voile to keep it light. I put buttons on the shoulders instead of ties. it crosses over at the back, my model wouldnt stand still and kept running about so most of my pictures were blurry!
Im pleased with it as a first attempt, and hopefully will make more, I have an idea to alter it a bit, and then to make a bigger one too, as Esme wants one like her little sisters.

Hi Hannah - it's good to have you back! I've been checking your blog each day as I love to see what you have been making. I haven't actually updated my blog for a bit so I must do something this weekend. I LOVE the tunic - I just wish my girls were still toddler age although I may still be able to persuade my nearly 7 year old to wear one - what do you reckon??? Lucy
It's lovely!
I want to make one too for my daughter's birthday... it's been on my to-do list for ages!
Btw, I believe Happythings has a tutorial on her blog...
Oh my gosh she is adorable! What fun sewing that must be. :)
Man those are cute pictures!
that child is adorable- and the smock looks great too!
