when a very good friend had a baby girl named violet, i knew whatever i made her had to be floral and purple.
i guess we can file this one under ‘good things come to those who wait'.
within an hour of finding out that talia was going to be a girl i went to my fabric stash and starting planning her first dress.
in the spirt of not letting perfect be the enemy of good, here is a quick post.
for halloween a few years back maya asked for a wednesday addams costume.
after making pretty dresses for talia, halloween costumes are probably my favorite thing to sew.
of course i was going to sew my baby boy a lil man flannel.
after a decade of sewing for other people’s daughters i knew sewing for my own would be fun…but i had no idea how much fun.
for halloween this year i decided the kids would go as characters from jude’s current favorite book: strega nona.
is this thing on?!
Between the new house, trips, lots of visitors, and a generally busy millennial lifestyle, I haven’t had time to sew, let alone blog recently. however when maya specifically requested a back to school dress three weeks ago I knew it was time to change that.
but wait, there are more flower girl fabric leftovers!
i used was able to squeeze one more piece out of the lovely honeycomb fabric from fabric depot I used for the garden party dress and mini southport dress: an oliver + s butterfly top in the 12 - 18 month size.
so for over a year now I've had a several yards of white eyelet fabric left over from the flower girl dresses i made my nieces for our wedding.
baby clothing continues!
what to make for a baby girl whose dad is a big hunter? something out of the cotton + steel arrow print of course!
our friends recently had a baby girl, so i whipped up this little top for her to wear next summer.
