Another fun weekend project. This is probably my new favorite. From my long awaited Spring 2008 Ottobre Magazine. Although she really doesn’t need any more spring clothes, I think Sylvie will get more outfits like this. The girl is really going to need a bigger closet.
I made these dresses for Sylvie and Lily. The second one should have been easier than the first. However in my sleep deprived state the other evening I totally botched the second one. It’s now about an inch shorter than the first. Hopefully Sylvie doesn’t get too much taller before it’s warm enough to wear it here.
Yes, that’s toothpaste… and notice the lovely flowers I got for Valentine’s Day 
Here’s a picture of Sylvie in her Valentines Day dress. Unfortunately she’s not wearing it today. She’s still in her jammies as I have a house full of sick kids. Happy Heart Day to all!
Don’t try to sew a complicated dress when you haven’t had a wink of sleep in over 24 (or is it more like 36) hours. It just doesn’t work out and when you rip out a seam over and over, eventually the dress becomes smaller than it was supposed to be. Oh well, I’ll just have to buy more fabric….. Is it almost bedtime?
