My five year old asked me to make her a new dress. It was to have long sleeves and it should be pink. It sounded like a reasonable request, so I agreed.
I headed to my pattern stash and found the ONLY pattern that I own for a long sleeved, little girl's dress. New Look 6309. Does it bother anyone else that pattern designers and clothing manufacturers don't seem to get that girls need functional clothing as much as boys? I mean, really, just because they like to look pretty doesn't mean they need to freeze.
