Dress Up Days. Inspiration, creativity, and my little Ramona came to life in this fabric line. She's a sweet little girl who loves to ride her bike, gather her toys and tote them around in her red wagon. She loves to stand outside in a breezy summer day, daydreaming of her new adventures. She loves to pick flowers and surprise her mother. She's very dainty, feminine…yet has a playful - tom boy spirit in her. She loves to hang out and follow her older sister around in hopes that she can be like her someday. She will become your best little friend in this fabric line.
Growing up I loved the book series, Ramona by Beverly Clearly. I always had something different in my head growing up from the illustrations they had on their covers back when I was in school. I'm proud to present to you my version of Ramona in Dress Up Days!
I have three different color ways that will compliment each other, and will share the different sides of Ramona. She's highly spirited, yet sweet, and spunky at the same time! Plus, with this line you will have a sweet teaching moment with your daughter, sister, niece, or granddaughter. You can help them sew up their own sweet little Ramona!
So, get your sewing machine ready to sew up your own Dress Up Day's creations, and join me and my Ramona to be inspired by this fabric collection. You will be sure to fall in LOVE with her, as I have!
Coming to stores in May 2012. Retailers and manufactures can order through Riley Blake Designs. Drum roll please… I present to you, Dress Up Days!
I hope that you have enjoyed the preview, I will be getting advanced yardage soon to make samples for Quilt Market, and I'm excited for all the patterns that are in the works for this line. I can't wait to show you more!
XOXOXO
Super cute!

Oh this is so cute!! There's a little girl waiting for a quilt. This will be perfect. I wish I didn't have to wait, but I will. Oh I'm so happy!

Such sweet fabrics!!! They are all precious.
My wonderful March Mug Rug arrived and I just love it. The fabrics are terrific (as are the FQs you included). Thank you so much, Shari.

Oh my goodness. Those are so cute! And remind me so much of growing up. I lived on my bike and always outdoors under the blue sky! :o)

I always imagine characters differently in my head from the cover pictures too.
Your Ramona is precious. I just can't pick a favorite color- love all three!

Adorable! One of my daughters is reading through all the Ramona books right now - I'll definitely need to get some of your wonderful new fabric to make her something special!

has anyone actually tried to make the doll and clothes following the instructions?
i was a bit disappointed that the straps and buttons designs on the "Apron" got lost when turning under the edges to double hem . hmmm. would seem the designer didnt think it through.
cute dolls though.
