polka dots

blue and white polka dots. what's better than that? i was inspired by a shirt from wal-mart (of all places!), and made this the other day. i used simplicity pattern 3511 with a few adjustments. i made the back with elastic in it, added elastic to the bottom for a bubble hem effect, and added the ruffle and button thingy on the front. (which i had placed and sewed down about an inch to the right when i realized it was off...nice.)

i'm not showing the back cause...it's not done. need to sew a few pleats in i think..that's the fun part about messing with a pattern! you run into roadblocks...that's when i have the most fun, figuring out how to put together the pieces. forget patterns! they stink anyways.

alright, this picture is just cause she is so cute!

and i love the look she's giving me here....

sadie: gee mom, made me enough clothes lately? i'm getting a bit sick of these photo shoots.

me: shush. now, pose!
