Easter Outfit

The outfit I had planned on making for my daughter turned out WAY too big, so I pulled out this skirt, which I made months ago. I needed a shirt for her in a hurry, and while I could have appliqued a matching shirt, I decided to try a little peasant top. This was my first attempt at shirring, and it was really quite easy. I learned quickly to make sure the elastic thread is long BEFORE you begin so that you can tie it off after you are done stitching, but their was hardly any learning curve to it. It is really fun for a quick project.

Vintage Spring Coat & Bonnet

This sweet little jacket and hat was actually mine. (Does that make me vintage - eeeek?) My mom made it for me when I was not quite a year old! She kept it all these years and now it fits my little sweetie. We are so pleased :)

First Knot Dress

I have stashed away a few yards of these beautiful prints especially for clothes for my daughter, and here is the first piece. It is a knot dress that I made during her nap today. Overall, I am pleased with it and can't wait to make a matching diaper cover to go underneath.

If you would like to make a similar dress, Lori Lynn Designs offers a pattern that is excellent. Here is the link to her etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6422249
