The sweet little dress I started making for my niece for Christmas has been hanging over my office chair for way too long and I felt it was about time that I got myself into gear and stopped the procrastinating and just finished it. Because I don't sew often I think I get intimidated by the little things like sewing button holes, why I don't know because with just a little bit of practice and a bit of thinking they were done just like that!! Well I am happy to say that the dress is finished and a teeny tiny one it is. To go along with the dress I'm going to sew up some little fabric shoes using a pattern from Meet Me At Mikes, will show you those when I tackle that project soon but there are a couple of others that are in line first.
I hope you're enjoying your Wednesday.

Cute dress! I need to make my swap ornaments but I need to make a trip to Spotlight to pick up supplies. Hopefully I will get time next week or over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovely - that shade of pink is just perfect! Well done for finishing Catherine.

Well done, those buttonholes are great - so neat. My one and only attempt at buttonholes was a bit of a shocker! And gosh it does look so so tiny. mel x
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet little dress Catherine. Is that a pattern you made up yourself for the swap? Gosh you are clever! Mel x
ReplyDeleteOh that pinnie is super sweet Catherine. I too used to shy away from button holes and zipper installation, but as they say practice is all it takes.
ReplyDeleteYour ornament looks like it will be gorgeous too.
