The designs are adorable, just looking at the cute drawings of cut out dolls on the pattern wrappers makes me want to sew them.
I bought the fabric for this outfit the Wednesday before last whilst I was at knit group. Sandra, from The Ely Wool Shop sells the most pretty fabric, she said last week when I purchased even more fabric to make myself another dress 'I think we have the same taste', I think she's right!
Rather than cutting out the exact size on the pattern sheet, I traced the pieces so I can use it again for a different size. For some reason I have 2 of these patterns, so I have all the sizes from 6 months to 5 years. I feel lucky to have them too as the pattern has been discontinued now. I never thought that any of these patterns would go out of print, they are all so classic and stylish in design.
I find it amusing that I love to sew in the summer months....
What are you all doing at the moment?

Marianne, when you trace these patterns, what do you use/how do you do it? I'm just getting back into sewing and with the cost of patterns, I think this is a great idea...
have you ever tried printing your own fabric? there are lots of places where you can do it and its fairly inexpensive. we recently experimented with it & made a pattern for a hand puppet [see here! http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/246765 ] and i'm trying to think of other uses for it since its so neat.
You sew The Most Beautiful clothes!
You truly are a Domestic Goddess! (and I mean that in the very best way).
I really hate it when classic patterns are discontinued, there's just no call for that. I'd like to see more vintage (30s,40s,early 50s) Summer Frock patterns, or really, just pretty dresses.
