the dress that was rejected

I made this for dd2 on a whim. The pattern and fabric were calling each other. She doesn't like it.
:P~ I considered trying to bribe her into wearing it, then I remembered that pile of her clothing on my kitchen counter, waiting for a soak in Oxo-Brite, and wondered why on earth I sewed so much white for that particular child. Anyone wanna buy a size 3t dress??? *snort*

Unders.

These are for someone else's kid. Height of a 4, width of a 3.


These are for my kid. A dd! Height of a 3, width of a 2, and after seeing them on her I could have done width of an 18 month. The 2 width is still saggy on her bum. She keeps saying she likes the boys boxer brief undies better than the girlie style, so I adapted that pattern to be more girl friendly. The bum and cod pattern pieces were merged to be one long piece, thus eliminating the seam that would be going across her girl bits. I also made the legs longer and hemmed them instead of putting a strip of ribbing there like the boys.


My kids each have their own tag or ribbon color for marking things. This is 2yo dd's current tag.

squishy soft baby shower gifts

It's a very good thing these will be too small for my youngest dd by fall. They are just as soft and squishy as they look! Size 3-6 month/62, for a baby due next month.

These are the nursery colors, I didn't have any shabby chic flowers to applique on, the euro flowers are pretty cute though! Silky soft velour.






The dress and leggings are a stretch terry that washes up just as soft as velour.




I wanna reach out and pet it, and I made it! lol
