GIRLS IN CALICO

GIRLS IN CALICO

I purchased this fabric from our local shop, its John Louden craft fabric with a seasonal Christmas theme, lots of different prints to choose from ,  its maybe old stock ,  not sure .  It bugs me that they will not tare fabric along the grain line any more and cut with big scissors, its never cut straight and you loose fabric when you get home searching for the true straight edge,  then you notice the print is not straight either.   Having said that it is nice cotton.   The dresses are the same style with a built in cap sleeve, matching pants and hair band .  I have not included  any other accessories with these sets.

 now sold

P.S JUST NOTICED THE HEAD BANDS GOT SWITCHED ON THE PHOTOS.  THE HEARTS GO WITH THE HEARTS DRESS AND THE BELLS GO WITH THE BELLS DRESS
