Butterick B4956 – The present for two year old girls
This year, two of my closests friend’s daughters turned two, and it gave me chance to use this cute pattern again that I made for Girl Tweedie when she was two.
First up I made this one for the daughter of a friend who I’ve known since we were seven years old 🙂
Lighthouse dress
I made it out of fabric leftover from a Colette Peony I made last year, and added a navy ribbon waistband trim.
Elephants dress
The second one was made for the daughter of a friend I met at work 11 years ago now, and who has been a wonderful friend ever since. I made it out of fabric leftover from my Simplicity 1652 dress. I left this one unadorned.

These little dresses are the perfect present for me to give, I think. Each dress takes a couple of hours to make, and the recipient gets something handmade and unique, and I get to put my fabric remnants to good use! Everyone’s a winner!

So cute! Love the lighthouse fabric! You have very lucky friends to have you sew for them, and you are very lucky to have friends who appreciate your talent. 🙂
I wish I could sew more for my friend’s children, actually, but I don’t really sew a lot even for my own. Especially not my son, who I’ve only ever sewn one pair of trousers for! Oops!
Just beautiful! What lucky girls.
Thanks. I hope they enjoy wearing them (or that their mummies enjoy seeing them wearing them!).
Those are both lovely. What a thoughtful gift.
Thanks Vanessa.
