Violet Field Threads Dresses for Miss Ava

For the past 10 years I have enjoyed sewing things like blankets, stuffed animals, toys, and quilts for our grandchildren.

The online pattern company Violet Field Threads has been my go-to for dress patterns.

The first one I made was the free download - London - seen below.


The most often made pattern is Abigail, seen in the sleeveless version below.


Abigail and small Wren bag below.


Harriett jumper or sleeveless dress below.


Piper (below) was quick to make but not a fan favorite. 


The one below is similar to Abigail but I think it was a Butterick or McCalls.
The thing I like about VFT patterns is the size range from 2T to girls size 10.


Most recent Abigail below.
It was made to be a jumper. 
I lengthened the top and the gathered skirt.


Below is another Abigail, probably the first one I made Ava.
The bonnet was made from a vintage pattern.


The sundress below is Lola.


Another Abigail with ruffles on the armholes and a plain skirt with an added border.


Abigail again with two coordinating hats.
Little brother had a matching short overall.


Abigail with puff sleeves and plain top and skirt.
Made for her first trip to Disneyworld.


Yesterday I made Teagan out of a knit fabric that has been in my stash for several years.


I will add photos to this post as I make other VFT dresses for Ava.
