Just had to show you the material my daughter bought when I was in Johannesburg for me to make Georgie a dress. The photo does not do it justice as it has lovely little stories running through it. I am now waiting for Bernina to send me an invisible zipper foot which I have ordered.

I love this fabric! Do you know who the manufacturer is? Often the name will be printed in the selvedge, and sometimes the name of the print.

I was a bit taken aback seeing my old post come up. I have since made the dress and if you page back a bit you will see it. The material is called 'Wildflower Wood by Lynette Anderson of Lynette Anderson designs'. I live in South Africa so I am not too sure where it was imported from.

Thank you Carolyn. Hope you are looking after your arm. Hugs Sarah

The fabric is going to make up a pretty neat story book dress. The invisible foot is easy to use as it stays right in the zipper teeth. I've put in dozens of them.

Thank you Anita - I might just ask you for some hints

Love the small print!! What are your plans for the dress. I ,too bought the invisible Bernina foot and have never used it. I do use the regular zipper foot often. I am however playing with the ruffler foot . Love it!!

Sleevless with a little sweetheart neckline and gathered skirt.

Lovely fabric for a lovely little girl! I do hope they deliver your zipper foot soon. I look forward to seeing what you do with this.

I just hope I manage the zipper foot

She should love the dress to pieces especially when no one else will have the same fabric.

Thank you Lenamae

Really lovely fabric. I zoomed in reading the stories. Will be watching for your invisible zipper project with this. You always sew such beautiful projects. I haven't done the invisible yet either. Always regular way so far.

I love my clear invisible zipper foot from Husqvarna , it made sewing some 15 zips in cushions for Xmas presents a breeze

This is really sweet - I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
