I’ve been a little under the weather, so while we’re waiting for me to organize those toadstool how-to pictures, I thought we could look at this little owl print dress.
Last fall, I picked up an owl print corduroy and stitched up a dress, which flew out of the shop almost immediately, as did the other few I made with the remaining fabric. Owls are all the rage now, yes? So, I’ve been on the lookout for another owl print fabric and I recently found this one by Robert Kaufman that made me happy. The finished dress is a spin off your basic peasant-style dress, with finished armholes and a ruffle all the way around the neckline, which creates little ruffled cap sleeves.
I also like the chunky bottom border in the coordinating polka dot. I’m pretty convinced, actually, that you could put polka dots on just about anything, and I’d like it.
so, do you go all crazy for owls? how about polka dots?

I love owls. And polka dots. Owls and polka dots together? To die for. Is there anything you make that’s not super adorable? I don’t think so. 🙂
I hope you are feeling 100% better. I can sympathize about being under the weather. Have a great day!
