Ensley Halter Dress by Noodles and Milk

Sabrina from Noodles and Milk is one of my favourite pattern designers. I have already created her stunning Annabeth Skirt which was featured HERE and also the gorgeous little reindeer applique tutorial HERE.

The last few days I have been working on the Ensley Halter Dress. It is just as well, as it only goes to a size 5 and Missy Jaida is already heading into size 6 these days!

With summer upon us, this gorgeous little dress will be a sweet summer party frock for sure in this household! Thanks to Amy Butler for one of our favourite fabric combinations too!

Dress Front - Halter Neck Design


Dress Back - Elastic


Some pretty embellishments


One very happy little girl!

Noodles and Milk - Annabeth Skirt

I just adore the sewing patterns from Noodles & Milk and have had the Annabeth for a while waiting to try. I also drew my inspiration for the fabric combination from the fabric used for the cover of the pattern, but used sunspots in turquoise from the delectable Miss AB as my contrast to the Amy Butler, Love, Paradise Garden in Periwinkle.

Miss Jaida had a 6 year old birthday party a few weeks back and well who could ask for a more perfect party skirt to frolic and twirl in!

1. Choose your fabric combination

2. Cut out your waist band, main skirt and hem band



3. Put the first 2 parts of your skirt together



4. Gather and pin that ruffled hemband (158cm worth)

5. Admire that full twirl factor



6. Its' pretty beautiful



7. One happy 5 year old tries out her new skirt



8. Verdict - I LOVE IT MUM!
