Oh how I love this little kanga dress, I made it for a gorgeous young lady (five years old to be precise). Her mother who is a good friend of ours called me one night saying that she had a photographer from Dwell (american mag) coming to do a photo shoot of their Sydney home in a couple of days & she would love to have her daughter wearing a sean-the-prawn dress/something quite Aussie looking. Mmm, this sent me into quite a frenzy as I only had a few hours available the next day to scrape a couple of things together to meet the express post in time. I grabbed a dress from Moochinside that I had already made from a teatowel with a bright print of Tasmanian wildflowers, but what if she didn't like it?? I thought she needed another choice so I looked through my aussie stash & found an adorable old kangaroo teatowel from Lightning Ridge. I spliced the tea towel with a yummy chocolate brown linen & chopped out a few extra kangarooy bits to use in the future for some cushions, & bob's your uncle a little cute kanga dress was made just in time for the express post.Monday 23 May 2011
