Have you ever made specific plans with fabrics and then before you got them sewn up, a new pattern comes along that changes your plan in an instant? This just happened with these fabrics!
Abbie's Garden by Sue Daley Designs with Gabrielle Neil for Riley Blake Designs continues the story of a little girl named Abbie. A mixture of pink, coral, aqua and gray -- this collection is full of charm with sweet pictures of Abbie's garden adventures and coordinating florals.
When I first saw the collection, I loved the Main Print in Aqua and was equally drawn to the Garden Stripe in Black. I also loved the Garden Bouquet in Coral and thought my oldest would like it too. My original plan was to make a sister set, but as you can see, that plan was derailed.
The Eden Dress by Little Lizard King came along and the sweet scalloped overlay stole my heart.
Immediately, my plans changed and I had to see if the drawings of Abbie were far enough apart on the main print to feature just one on the overlay. I was so excited when I realized it was a perfect fit!
I used two of the smaller pictures to feature on the pockets and used the Garden Stripe in Black as accent.
The Garden Bouquet in Coral is a nice contrast to the light blue of the main print and softens the starkness of the Garden Stripe in Black.
My youngest LOVES her new dress and my oldest was a bit sad about not getting her outfit (don't worry, I made her something else to add to her closet). I love the final project even more than my original plan. Check your favorite online retailer or local store to see when these prints will be hitting the shops!! It should be very soon!!
