My daughter has a wardrobe full of handmade dresses, but I have hardly any. P&M Patterns is a French sewing pattern company that have patterns in English as well as French, and I jumped at the chance to try one of their patterns for a blog tour. Whilst they have girl's patterns as well, it was time to sew a dress for me, and Mademoiselle Josephine looked like my kind of dress!

Ella & Ollie has colours like Strawberry, Apricot, Seaglass and Daisy and gives a splash of colour for Spring without being too over-the-top. There are floral prints that have a slight vintage feel.

The Poinsettia Party Dress sewing pattern from GYCT Designs is a fun party dress with simple details that make it look special. It's a quick sew for a confident beginner to intermediate sewist. These fabrics would make it perfect for a flower girl dress.

It's time for another Fave Fabric Friday, and this week, it's going to be a bit random. My 9-year-old son loves chickens. I don't know why. We don't have chickens. Today, I'm pecking around for chicken fabric.
