mini southport for back to (virtual) school

mini southport for back to (virtual) school

remember the pandemic?

back to school 2020 was strange for sure. while it didn’t have the usual pomp and circumstance, i still wanted to make it special for my nieces, especially neela who was starting kindergarten.

i decided to make maya and neela one of my favorite patterns: the mini southport dress from true bias from two yards of warp & Weft Cotton Wovens that i got from stonemountain & daughter (orderd online and picked up curbside). 

the mini southport dress might be my favorite non oliver + s pattern. It’s such a cute style and I’ve used it twice in my previous back to school sewing making it for maya in 2018 and Etta in 2017.

love,

aunt maggie
