This past weekend we had fun celebrating my daughter’s second birthday. And I also had fun seeing a fabric obsession become a reality.
When I was pregnant with my daughter and just learning to sew, I really had no sense of the breadth of fabric choices that existed. I didn’t know the names of any fabric manufacturers, let alone fabric designers. But slowly I learned more about fabric designers and collections and all of that crazy goodness. And one day I randomly stumbled across a certain balloon-filled fabric designed by Sarah Jane, a children’s illustrator, for Michael Miller Fabrics. All I could think was that I had to make my daughter a dress from that fabric for her first birthday. I seriously became obsessed with the fabric. I was like a fabric zombie over the design, “Must have fabric.” Mind you, my obsession with this particular fabric design was born before my daughter was! Kind of silly, I realize, but only kind of.
I find Sarah Jane’s illustrations to be amazing and just, well, perfectly lovely. They scream “happy childhood” to me. (You can check out a peek of her latest fabric collection Wee Wander here. Divine. Did you see the fabric with the girl catching the lightning bugs? Oh my. It’s possible a new obsession is beginning.)
My daughter wasn’t walking by her first birthday, so I decided to hold off on making the dress. It’s hard to appreciate a fabric design when it’s bunched up around a baby that still needs to be transported everywhere. And so, the dress and the fabric made their big debut on her second birthday!
It’s way more pastels than I would typically use for this time of year, but I love, love, love it. And it also didn’t hurt that by now she can say things like, “new dress” and the all important, “mommy made it.” Ha!
I meant to buy a bunch of balloons in colors matching the dress for her family party, and I totally forgot. Needless to say, she didn’t notice. She was too busy dancing and climbing and wearing chocolate on her face!
