Somethings Never Change

My love of classic styles and strong colours such as the blue's especially navy and red's for children's clothing has never changed. I had forgotten about these dresses I made for my girls when they were five and six, how they hated being dressed the same, right down to the tights and shoes, but I loved it.  

So 'Little House on the Prarie'......

Still loving the blue's and red's in an updated smock version 

And I'm still taking bad garden shots 

The Rowantree girl's smock dresses have a plain yoke and are a long sleeve style, which go beautifully with long sleeve tops and tights or over your favourite denim. The oversize style is very on trend for both adults and children's clothing, - this casual Boho inspired girl's dress would be popular with any of the famous tots in LA or New York!

These two versatile smock dresses are available on my website www.rowantree.com.au

How I love all things made by the hand....and the love of crochet seems to be taking over my passion for sewing at present.  These beautiful crochet frocks are delicious and will be added to my 'best sunday dress collection'.  Delicious!

Going Loopey over Hexagons

The update.....


I am so excited that tomorrow I will be showing up for my crochet class at Calico and Ivy with 55 crochet hexagons complete and ready to begin the journey to become a gorgeous cushion.  I feel such a sense of achievement.  Five years ago I would have fell down laughing if you had told me I would be gob smacked proud over a bag of crochet hexagons.  I love them, I take them out of the bag several times a day to admire the color combinations, lovingly stroke them and count them.  Oh how I have enjoyed the pile getting bigger......
Last Monday a lay day for crochet class the girls came to my house, we sat around the table, we chatted, drank tea and ate cake, our crochet needles an extension of our hands, our talk of double chain, treble chain, lingered on long into the afternoon....WOW that was a great day, clearing the table of wool ends I couldn't wipe the smile from my face, I felt part of something secret, we bonded, we crocheted, we are a little crochet club in the making.....

I have chosen this blue stripe ticking for the backing.....

I hope mine looks like this 

A lovely Surprise - Matilda Smock in Print

Here is my Rowantree Design Matilda Smock featured in the May issue of Shop 4 Kids.  I love it, a gorgeous old worldy vintage inspired little dress with ahoney of a little bloomer so we don't see those nasty disposables.....the fabric is an Irish Linen in dusty pink...... Oohh it's gorgalicious.
