i made greta a dress. she wore it to our friends' wedding last weekend. she is at a life phase where dresses make absolutely no sense whatsoever. she crawls. she gets picked up a lot. dresses aren't super compatible with either of these realities. luckily, this dress will make a nice vest for her, once she's a little taller and she toddling about on her own two feet.
the pattern is tora froseth's little sister's dress.
more info here on rav.
i am really happy about the buttons i dug out of my button drawer. they were harvested from this old mrs. roper style dressing gown some years ago and i think that they are pretty perfect here.
hope you are having a great monday! the little and i are going to try to get out and enjoy some sun today. hurray for warm october days.
What?! No pictures of Greta in her dress? That's just not fair! :o)

You've got excellent sewing and stitching skills, and I envy you for that. Even if I practice daily I can't just learn to love it.
