Nightgown

One of the latest presents I have made is this nightgown for my niece. She recently turned 2 and had a Minnie Mouse party. I picked this soft comfy knit polka dot at a remnant clearance sale recently for 20 cents a yard!!!! I know, freak out moment.

This was only one piece of the 2 huge bags I bought that night while my husband not-so-patiently waited in the car with 2 of the kiddos (1 was "helping mommy shop").

I adapted the new pattern I've been working on, and have yet to completely put together, by adding length, a deep ruffle, and a slight ruffle at the wrist.

Little Belle seems to like the print and the softness of it and my girls want one now. So who knows, the pattern may turn into a nightgown tutorial before it's finished.

Birthday Girl

A friend's daughter is having her 1st birthday very soon, and her grandmother asked me to make a dress for her. I used this cute cupcake fabric in fall colors.

I couldn't stop there of course, so I made this 1st birthday shirt also.

The cupcake appliqué Is by planet appliqué. I like it because you can add as many candles as you need.

I couldn't having her older brothers feeling left out, so I made them shirts with a tie.

The tie design is also by planet appliqué.

Happy birthday Lilly!
