Fable Dress Sewing Pattern - Child

Lovely to sew and wear!

I've made a few Fable dresses now for myself, and finally got around to purchasing the child pattern for my daughter. This first one is to match a dress of mine. The main dress is a brown needlecord, with a squirrel patterned needlecord for accent pieces (culled from an oddly shaped Boden dress I bought at a charity shop years ago). I lined the bodice and made the inseam pockets with a quilting weight cotton. The dress is a little stiffer and thicker in this fabric, but it's still comfy to wear and the squirrels are a big hit! My daughter chose the buttons from my jar, and they match the acorns pretty well!

Couldn’t resist making a couple in flannel

Got a request for warm winter dresses. Flannel Fable to the rescue. Flamingoes are lined with bemberg, and Lemons lined in bamboo. These were really happy sews, and my Grand loves wearing them!

Fable dress for girls is an easy sew

Absolutly love this pattern! Such a lovely easy pattern to follow, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, making it a very satisfying sew. I sewed a fully lined version with long sleeves and the construction comes together beautifully. The ease of creating such a lovely dress is impressive, considering I am sewing thirty of these dresses for an upcoming festival and am only an intermediate sewer.
