Delightful Destina

Pattern: Farbenmix Destina. I've loved the look of this pattern from the very first time that I saw it. It's one of those patterns that is just made for mixing fabrics.

Fabrics: assorted Stenzo and Hilco poplins. I had originally thought this dress would be more pink, but when I laid out the fabrics this was the combination that came together.

I dug into my stash and used some ribbon, and I used my snap press to put snaps on the front.  I asked Moo her preference, and she chose snaps.

Size 134/140, so it should fit Missy Moo for ages. I'm thinking a pair of leggings in campan or campante will come along soon to go with the dress.

Excuse the expression on her face. It was bright to her eyes since the lounge lizard has been inside all day.






Moo wanted a Farbenmix tag sewn on.  I have a little collection of them from the patterns that I've purchased.  She looks through them every so often.  Of course she picked the one where I only had one, and I wanted it for myself.  I think she has a sixth sense about those things!


I just noticed that you can see the topstitching quite well in this photos.  I happened to find a spool of turquoise topstitching thread which I used for all of the topstitching.  It makes it stand out a bit more.

Don't forget to check out all of the fabulous auctions and raffles.   The tally of funds raised as of today (it will be more as the auctions and raffles haven't closed) is about $45,000.  Isn't that fantastic!
