I think it will fit this time (I hope)

May 27, 2008

This is dress #3 for my friend’s daughter…I’m pretty sure it will fit this time.  In fact it may actually be a bit big for her, and that is a good thing.  At least she could grow into it!  I did the same as last week, but also added some little satin roses at the center front and top of the sleeves.

This is the dress for my neighbor’s girl that watched Kitty while we were on vacation.  She LOVED watching kitty while we were gone.  You should have heard Kitty when we got back.  She was meowing like you would not believe, and I believe she was saying, “Bring those kids back that petted me!!  Bring those kids back that petted me!!”

She wanted bright pink.  I was going for a confortable dress.  I made this pattern using her measurements.  I am a bit worried that the armholes are too small, but that is fixable.  I’ll see how it fits her this week.

  1. Do you ever make clothes for yourself? You have such a great eye for pattern/color…

    I love these, esp. the purple one.

  2. Thanks Alissa! Yes, I have made things for myself in the past, but I haven’t had the time recently.

  3. Those are cute! My oldest would like that last dress! I just bought a sewing machine and serger! I’m excited to learn to sew. Hope I catch on as quickly as photographY! LOL

  4. Oh wow! Such beautiful dresses. My daughter turns 4 tomorrow. She is such a “twirley dress” girl. Your things are gorgeous. Thanks for always taking the time to comment on my blog. Can you believe my husband jumped off that cliff? Crazy thing is all my sons wanted to as well. It’s going to be a long life girl!!!!!

  5. I’m so sorry I haven’t been around lately. Life is kicking my ass and it isn’t getting any better. But I’m hoping soon things will be better. Thanks for continuing to check on me though. I love it and it makes my day!

  6. Third time’s the charm! Very sweet dresses, those little girls are lucky to be in your life. I adore the purple one, but the second looks SO comfy!
