Making things for Little Miss A.

Lately, I have been very busy crafting lots of stuff for Little Miss A.  She was christened last weekend, and I made her dress, and I also knitted two sweaters for her.  Currently in progress is her Halloween costume, which is an owl.

Christening dress:

Modified from Simplicity 1701 pattern, the overskirt is half the width of the lace fabric, and I used the scalloped edge of the fabric as the hem.  This was my first time sewing satin or lace, and also the first time I installed a zipper and the first time I used bias tape.  I was very pleased with how it came out, and I'll definitely use the pattern again for dresses for the little miss.


Honeycomb Sweater:

From Tummy Warmer pattern.  Super cute on Little Miss A.


Little Miss A.'s Knitted Dress:

 

From Little Sister's Dress pattern.  She has some growing into this to do, but boy do I love those sheepy buttons!
