• More Sewing

  A friend had a baby last September.  I am finally getting around to making a gift for the baby.  I bought this pink fleece awhile ago and have been saving it for something special.  I looks so soft that it is just perfect for a baby.

  

  This coat and bonnet are made with fine wale corduroy and lined with pink cotten.  It’s fortunate that I made them in the large size so she can use them next year.

  

  I have another friend whose daughter is four years-old.  I saw this snowflake fabric and thought of Claire.  The dress has lace on the collar and cuffs that looks like snowflakes that I had leftover from another project.  Then I put buttons on the large patch pocket on the skirt that look like snow people and on the silver band around the skirt between the skirt and the skirt band I sewed snowflake buttons.  There is also a bag that goes along with it that has snowflakes on it. 

  

  It’s nice to be sewing little girl dresses again.
