Have you read any of Ayano Imai's books? We have three that we love: Puss in Boots: Chester; and Mr. Brown's Fantastic Hat. I created this dress for Zoe based on the fabulous reds, oranges and browns in Puss in Boots. I think it will be perfect for a Thanksgiving dress -- remember, we live in Texas and usually spend the winter holidays in short sleeves. Are we blessed? This dress is based on my go-to pattern, Child's Summer Frock at the Burda website. I shortened the bodice and lengthened the skirt, used pleats instead of gathers, and spliced a middle panel in the bodice. Fabrics are all repurposed, including two napkins from World Market!

For Kids Clothes Week, I knew I'd want to design something around one of Zoe's favorite books, Butterfly Eyes and Other Secrets of the Meadow by Joyce Sidman. The illustrations are just gorgeous, and Zoe requests it just about every third night.
