I'm a failure at making lists and them sticking to them, haha!! However, I have been sewing my bottom off... but I almost never end up doing what I'm supposed to do. Here are a couple things I have made however (I have more to photograph. I will do it. I promise).
First of all,
this dress! I love this pattern. I mean I LOVE this pattern. It's my go to for just about everything. The hardest part is the yoke and the rest just comes together. And with her being in the smallest size right now, I can use a fat quarter of fabric for the yoke... which is amazing! I'm working up a Zoo version before we hit up the local zoo. (I did use this fabric to make the Goodship Dress but for some reason, I thought the smallest size, size 2, would fit little Molly. Well that's just crazy. So my cousin is borrowing it for her daughter who is actually a size 2. I didn't take pictures, oops.)
Then I did actually do one thing (that I photographed) from my list.
The puppet show dress. I lied, I made the tunic. But squirt is short so it works as a dress right now. Plus chunky thighs on a baby is cute so I'm letting her show them off. I also whipped up some bloomers so when she is crawling, there was matching cuteness. I also added a crocheted edge to the collar since I wanted to give it a soft and classic touch.
And now for something very exciting, at least to me! I started making stuff for myself!! Actually, I made the first thing that has ever actually fit me. I have a long history of making myself charming little potato sacks.
I know, it's a cell phone picture. We are pretending it's an extremely well taken, high resolution, high fashion photo, ok! Anyway, I made this pink top and I'm obsessed with it. I've worn it so very many times now. This top also ties into my apparent obsession with Oliver + S. I follow them on Facebook and
this workshop was posted to the page the other day to make a linen caftan. I jumped on it and I'm so glad I did. I'm on my second one now, except I'm making a dress this time. And my mother and mother-in-law have both called me to force me to make them one too! It wasn't super hard to force me though, fabric coming to me in the mail that I don't have to pay for, I'm in!!
Anyway, I am almost done with my first smocked dress, if I could only find that embroidery floss to finish it. I just hope I'm done before Molly outgrows it. And I also made my very first bubble dress with no pattern!! Pictures soon!
