Modkids Sydney For My Ahnalin

Ahnalin has fallen in love with the Modkids Sydney pattern and

has been begging me to sew it up for her.

As Autumn is just around the corner, 

and Ahnalin refuses to wear jeans,

I thought I would sneak in some denim another way.

We paired the denim, which has been in my stash for quite some time,

with Patty Young's Double Border Daisy in Lime

 from her "Flora and Fauna" line for Michael Miller fabrics.

And being me, I had to add some rick rack. 

 

Ahnalin is crazy about the hood!

 

So we got lots of goofy pictures!

 

Oh those eyes just capture me! 

(And did I mention that 5 years ago today, she became our baby!)

But she was a bit frustrated that she could not find flowers

in our yard that matched the fabric.

 

 

 

  

As Ahnalin struggles with sensory issues, I have to line

everything she wears. 

This pattern has an unlined bodice and that would not

do for my girly. 

So, I just made a lining using the same front and back pattern

pieces, and captured the hood in between those layers.

I also added a button and used fold-over-elastic to make a button loop.

Ahnalin is long and thin, so I cut her dress in a size 5 for 

width and a size 6 in length. 

The size 6 hits her right at the knee. 

I LOVE this pattern and plan to make more for my girly girl!

Happy Sewing!
