I found this fabric at a warehouse discount clothing store (similar to DFO). It was two BIG fleece blankets for $30. Its still folded in half in the photo. The quality of fleece reminded me of felted wool and as it sort of clung to itself I didnt really need to even pin it to sew. An added plus was that the edges were hemmed beautifully so no need to finish the neck or those pesky teeny sleeve ends. Yay! I have heaps left over so I guess the girls will be getting one each year in every size. The larger plaid one was for my niece.
I loved this pattern to sew, it was way easy and it sits so well on my slight girls that I think it will quickly become a base pattern for any tops with set-in sleeves and A-line dresses or tops.
Pattern: Heidi and Finn, Jumper dress
