Dress with godets.

The other day Sadie said to me "Mom, I'm one now. I'd like you make me something hip, something edgy. Something with...say...animal print".

Okay, maybe I've just been watching Project Runway again.

This is the first time I used godets. They turned out cute, although if I did it over again I would of started them higher up. Of course, it won't really fit her until next year.

Smocked Dress

I actually did this smocking a long time ago and just now finally got around to constructing the dress. This was the first time I used a pattern for the smocking (from an Australian Smocking and Embroidery magazine). I really like how it resembles lace. I think the dress turned out really nice. It does need to be ironed in the front after sitting around for months in my bag of unfinished smocking projects.



Isaac took this picture, and it turned out better than any of mine did:

Outfit for Sadie

This is a baby-doll top and matching pants that I made for Sadie, hopefully for this Fall. The pants should be fine, but the top is SO big. I might have to put some elastic in the sleeves. I found this blue and brown print a few weeks back. I love the colors, and I noticed in Kohl's back to school catalog they had some dresses in the same colors.

4th of July Dress

Whats a Holiday without a dress, right? This will probably fit her next year too. The yoke is so big on her I'm going to have to pin it tighter for her to wear this year. She can also wear it during the Olympics :) I made some matching ribbons for her hair too.



The reluctant model...hopefully she will be happier wearing it on Friday!
