ToddlerMerinoWoolDress

Oh where have I been these 16 days since my last post? At home. We received longed and wished welcome visitors to stay over YuleTide 2025 since early morning 14.12.2026. We still have some all the way until 4.1.2027 but now I am at home alone with the dogs so I found some time to chat with you my dear reader. 

See the picture above. There's one of gifts I've made for Yule 2025. It is 100 % merino wool decorated with Yule themed cotton fabric and home made bias tape. I love home made bias tape and recommend it to all because by it you really can create personalized details for your sewing. Here you can find HomeMade BiasTape-tutorial.

It is a very simple pattern I modified from PaaPii's Pattern Book for Children. Yes, it is a Finnish trade mark but they actually sell it also in English. I made this dress from the book: I just did it without the sleeves and wedges. Because I use cotton bias tape I created a slit at back. I made this in the size 110 cm. 

Here you can see it all better. For the fastening I used sew-on-snaps. I left 1 cm loose bias tape to make it easier for big adults to crab on and help with the dress.
