grey polkie dots

Β Yes, polkie dots. For some reason that’s what I call them in my head sometimes. Don’t ask why…you don’t want to try and get inside my head. Especially these days…

okaay…anyways…I have a new dress to show ya! It’s been awhile huh? I have some excuses reasons:

1. I didn’t want to make something, and then later realize it would be perfect for a Project Run and Play theme.

2. The Holidays were crazy busy…I’m sure you all can commiserate.

3. I’ve been sick. (the past week, so not much of an excuse)

4. Just a bit lazy.

But I did make these little grey and white number a few weeks ago-it was maybe gonna be for PR&P, but it didn’t make the cut-still a cute dress though!

I love the gathered waistband especially!

There’s a little ruching on the sleeves too, kinda like this dress.

(DO pretend not to notice the serged, non hemmed bottom)

She wanted to pose with this little rooster kitchen timer. I got it for her play kitchen and it looks adorable out there! Kind of random in this picture though.

  12. Super cute! I am totally wishing I had your skills in making clothes for my daughter. Half the time I try and they don’t work out. Gah! I think I need you to come sit in my sewing room and say, “Now do this. Good! Now do this…” Haha.
