I'm a huge basketball fan. I played basketball my whole life, played on my college team. (Don't be impressed - we were horrible!) I'm originally from Boston, home of the Boston Celtics basketball team.
Every morning, I get up wearing one of my many Celtics shirts...
I drink coffee from my Boston Celtics mug. Then, I head off to work, where I work in the land of Laker fans - our arch-rivals. See, I live in Southern California, where 75% of the basketball fans are Laker fans.
So, here's the reason for this dress...
A Laker dress, for one of my Laker-loving co-workers. This is going to the my friend Guillermo's beautiful daughter Alyssa - the much awaited first grandchild on either side of the mom and dad's family. I figured that I would wait before giving him a baby present, as they were inundated with shower gifts when the baby was born.
It will be presented in this bag:
A Laker color bag.
The dress is one of my go-to patterns the Ice Cream dress from Oliver + S. The floral fabric is from Robert Kaufman, and the solid is Color Weave from P&B Textiles. Totally not colors I would ordinarily use....
The bag is another go-to pattern - the drawstring bag from Little Things to Sew by Oliver + S.
It actually pained me to sew this outfit in these colors, and it even pained me to insert a photo of Kobe Bryant into my blog! But, I know my friend will absolutely love this dress for his much loved little girl...she is 8 months old now, and the dress is 12-18 month size, so I think it will be perfect sizing for the on-set of the NBA season - where, both of our teams are going to be horrible this year, so we will commiserate together!
