The Itch to Stitch: Dress 2




My blogger pal, Sue, is doing a skirt a month this year and is posting the last Monday of the month, which is today.  See her skirt here.
I decided to join her.   I'm aiming to make a dress a month for the next 12 months for my little girl.  I do love a gorgeous little dress, especially a mama made one, on my little girl.  So, that's the plan.
Dress one: Here.

And here's this month's.

It's a wool dress. Good for winter living in big old house.  It's a Simplicity pattern. I made it big, on purpose.  I suspect there will not be too much winter left (although one never knows in Maine) and I'm hoping it will still fit next winter. 

I walked through THIS MUCH snow to take this picture.
 Before I get to my little model wearing such dress, I had to take a couple of pictures of the beautiful winter.


 Winter is really quite lovely, I'd say.
And here she is, sweet girl. Nearly impossible to photograph. She thinks it's twirl dress. And she has much to do between twirls.




I just so happened to make a dress to match her fave baby, too.

 This baby has been going to and fro with her lately.

 I love a little one snuggling their lovey.


 Dress two is done.  Wonder what March's dress shall be?  Definitely haven't gotten that far yet. 


 Won't you join us and sew something monthly?  Do share what you created and check what next month's dress will be here.  And make sure to head on over to http://thelittleacrethatcould.blogspot.com/ to see what she's been up to.
