Sadie's Birthday Dress

This is a pattern from Sewing With Whimsy, a sewing book that I absolutely adore. Sadie was happy with it but she still considers last year's birthday dress to be "the birthday dress", this one is called "the other birthday dress".

Aisian Style Dress

I am so glad to have this dress finished. It has been cut out for months. It turned out okay, but in hindsight there are a lot of things I would of did different. I would of added piping in the front seam and collar seams, I would of used heavier interfacing in the collar, and I would of looked online for a smaller frog closure (JoAnne only had one size and color). Also, this fabric, while very pretty, snags something awful! Thank goodness it was 50% off its already clearance price. Live and learn right?

Cape

Sammy has really been wanting a black cape lately, so I made one for him. I love this age, they are so easy to make happy!
