This is the dress that I started sewing a LONG time ago, but I got burned out on it, so I took a break and finished it a couple weeks ago. It is a gingham seersucker fabric and it turned out a lot cuter than I thought it would be. I am still debating over the turquoise ribbon or white, but I am leaning towards the turquoise.
This is the back view of it. The ribbon pulls a lot tighter when it is on, but it is still just a little too big for Kate and I don't feel like taking it in just to take it out again in a few weeks/months.
This is the pillowcase dress I showed a few weeks ago in progress, but now it is DONE! It was super easy, it only took me a day or so of Kate's naptimes, so it was not too bad! I bought the fabric at a trunk show place as a remnant, and it turned out so cute. I am working on the extra fabric using an apple or pear as an applique on a white cotton bubble I bought Kate.
These are the bloomers I monongrammed to wear under the fruit dress. It looks so cute together, I need to get a picture of Kate wearing this.
Anyway, I just thought I would post some of my recent projects. I am working on a hot pink bubble now with little ladybug patches on the front, but I am stumped and need my mom's expertise before I can go on. More pictures later!
VERY cute...I need to learn how to make pillow case dresses!!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to sew for a long time and I'm finally signed up for a beginner's class in July (it meets 4 times). I'm waiting to buy a machine until after then. Do you have any recommendations on machines? I want to get one that embroiders. I know they are a lot of money, so I want to be sure to buy the right one!
ReplyDeleteI have the Brother SE270 machine that does regular sewing and embroidery. It is pretty basic, and not too expensive, and it has been great!
ReplyDeletei love the pear fabric! i have afreind who made her girls matching easter dresses out of it... so cute!
ReplyDeletei understand your hangup about name meanings... people may think elisha is 'alicia'... and old-fashioned or what have you, but besides being a family name (and a prophets!) it means 'God is my salvation' ... and i love that, it is my prayer for him!
