I would love to sew it as well, but I saw that you've made the pattern all by yourself- so no chance for me to copy it :-( do you by any chance sell patterns? Or can you tell me what patterns you used as reference?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />RivaRivahttps://www.pinterest.com/rivamilka/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252155843239152686.post-78112390899470903162014-07-15T09:44:58.436+10:002014-07-15T09:44:58.436+10:00Adorable dress. I just logged on and did a search ...Adorable dress. I just logged on and did a search on using upholstery fabrics for clothes. I'm making some dresses for my 6 year old granddaughter, and have a piece of Waverly cotton print fabric that goes beautifully with a solid knit that I have on hand. I want to use the print for the skirt part of the dress. I'm concerned about washing and drying the dress. I just pre-washed (by hand) for shrinkage, but I suspect it will fade faster and possibly shrink more with machine washing over time. It's the only thing that's holding me back from using it because the combination would make such a pretty little dress. Can you give me any feedback on care of the dress. Since it's for a 6 year old, I know her mom is not going to want something that needs to be dry cleaned.

I bought it in hopes that I have something suitable should I get hired for a recent job posting. Then I thought of upholstery fabric which is more versatile and offers a high end feel. So glad my google search produced a like mind.
