a Belated Christmas Gift



Well I finished my Granddaughter's Christmas gift and presented it to her a couple of weeks ago. I love the Ellieinspired nonie girl pattern because I can get it in a slim size. Having it in a slim size is very much a plus as Sarah is tall and slender. I am using size 8 right now. I made the top part from cream tone on tone vine print and  cream colored print on red background  cottonfabric for skirt and waistband and embellished it with three small red buttons down the front and red piping around neck.



 It does come in plus and average size as well. Doesn't that sound good! Most of Ellieinspired pattern pieces are interchangeable too! The nonie pattern origninally is sleeveless, so I added sleeves from ellieinspired's butterflydream dress sleeve, and added a tuck waistband, did a gather skirt instead of a pleated skirt, and added length to skirt and sleeves. She really likes it. Long dresses are her thing right now. It keeps her warm and since its cold here right now, long sleeves is a good option too! The pattern has a belero jacket included with short and long sleeves option.
